How Delphian School’s Community Service Secretly Builds Tomorrow’s Most Relentless Young Leaders—and Why You Should Care Now
Taking Initiative Without Being Asked
Initiative is another trait that often grows through repetition rather than instruction. Students might begin by doing only what they’re assigned, especially if they’re unsure of their role. But as they grow more familiar with the setting, they start noticing what needs to be done and doing it.
They might grab extra chairs before anyone asks. Or offer to translate for a guest who looks confused. These are small choices, but they come from a growing sense of ownership. Over time, students who keep showing up begin to act more like contributors than helpers. They don’t wait to be told what leadership looks like. They try things, watch how others respond, and revise as they go.
