Tip #5: Be a Self-Starter

from "82 Tips for Thriving in the Workplace."

BE A SELF-STARTER
Look for a gap in the organization and fill it. Become known as the employee who initiates projects and engages others to participate even if beyond the scope of your job. Get the support of your supervisor and be sure these projects add value to the organization and/or clients. This is a great way to develop your leadership skills.
