Opportunities are essential for expansion and growth of an organization. Leaders not only treat every assignment as an adventure but also search for opportunities by seizing the initiative and looking outward for innovative ways to improve (Posner, 2012). Initiative leads innovation. W. Clement Stone, who rose from poverty to build an international insurance company worth hundreds of millions of dollars, asserted that to overcome procrastination, you need only say these three words to yourself, and then act on them: “Do it now!” (William A. Cohen, 2013).
Opportunities do not come by sitting idle and waiting for something to come at your doorstep. Leaders are thought pioneers who also encourage creative solutions from their team members (Oliphant, 2016) . Leaders while seeking opportunities outside the organization often neglect the activities, which can help to achieve their goal. The first thing the leader can do is not allowing ideas to be immediately discounted with little or no consideration. They should be open to ideas and inspirations that come from different sources. Leaders anticipate the threats and therefore, are never afraid to fail because that is where leaders learn and try something else. Employees are assets to an organization. Their belief, if something will work or not does matter to an organization. This will help them to motivate employees through their own passion and commitment to the expected possibilities. Leaders are known as risk takers because they are always prepared for facing the consequences. Opportunities can also be attained if the leader transparently shares the visions and values of the organization. Proper communication between the mentors and team members helps in skill development of an individual, foster large scale change and action learning initiatives (Shrestha, 2017).
For example: We could never board on a plane if Wright Brothers had never thought of breaking humans thought that only birds can fly in the sky. While in the business context, Microsoft, Toyota, Amazon, Google are famous for adopting and innovating new stuffs in the market and making the impossible, possible.
