Your plan
Initiative at Kettle & Quire Books
Seeing something useful to do and doing it, without always waiting to be told.
Not the same as: Overstepping. Knowing when to ask first IS the skill.
Workdays to walk through
Workday 01 · The Signing
Thursday · 5:40 PM
A visiting author arrives forty minutes early wanting things Noreen didn't promise. The register still has to be staffed, and eighty people are on their way.
Where initiative shows up: An early guest needs a welcome while the manager is on a call.
Workday 02 · Nothing To Do
Tuesday · 9:55 AM
A quiet morning, one lingering regular, and a phone order that isn't as simple as it sounds. The hard part is deciding what's actually worth your attention.
Workday 03 · What It Costs
Sunday · 4:10 PM
Wren asks you to cover again. This time saying yes means giving something up that actually matters to you, and saying no might cost her more than a shift.
Practice steps
These get harder as you go. Tick the ones you have actually done at work — nobody is grading this.
