Get it done attitude needed

Have you ever been with a start up company or did you have your own company? If yes, you understand why I say we need more entrepeneurial minds to achieve real and lasting change. We need people that identify issues,  have great ideas how to fix them and then an iron determination to get it done. Are you that someone?
Do you allow yourself to own issues and act on them or do you still wait for someone to tell you what to do?
You don't have to wait until somebody assigns you a task, you don't have to wait until somebody asks you to start working on something. If you have an idea how something (e.g. process, system, sales tactic) can be done better, own it and make sure that your team benefits from your ideas and work. Stop focusing on all the internal company workings (e.g. politics, power games) they will just distract you from achieving your goals. Instead of waiting for other people to lead, lead yourself.
