Solution

The principle of Initiative insists that workers should be encouraged to develop and carry out their plans of development. When a worker's ideas are being heard, he feels important. He then devotes his time and energy to this job and plans on completing it fast. This leads to less absenteeism, reduces wastage of time and resources as well as maintains a healthy relationship between the management and the employee. Brainstorming with the employees generates more ideas, which leads to the working environment being more creative and more effective.
