Hey Tinkerbell,

For this question it's pretty straight forward. I am adding the meaning of each of the words you have underlined. By reading the definition this should help you understand each of the words and come up with some ideas on how to use them in the work environment.

initiative

Initiative is the ability to act on your own: the ability to act and make decisions without the help or advice of other people.

For example: offering support, professional development, sharing ideas, having a reward program, acknowledging staff initiative.

participative decision

Is the extent to which employers allow or encourage employees to share or participate in organizational decision-making.

For example: allowing others to make decisions not just the director, asking opinions of others.

delegation

To give or commit (duties, powers, etc) to another.

For example: choosing staff to be responsible for different duties, rostering up a cleaning schedule.

Next time, please make sure you add your responses to the questions you have provided in order for us to determine what you have understood from the question. Please read our forum rules for further information.
