When encountering initiative, insert a brief, deliberate pause before forming any judgment. See the potential for imaginative leaps inside the factual presentation of the answer. Allow the incoming information to settle before you attempt to categorize or judge its full meaning. Let perspective meet initiative in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you connect separate ideas into a useful whole as you give an unfinished idea a little room.
