La prise d'initiative

[0riane]

Hello,

I would like to translate "la prise d'initiative" (as a noun).

Thank you in advance !

It is often quite hard to keep nouns in English.

Without context I'd say "Taking initiatives...."

 

[0riane]

The context is : "the taking initiatives is part of my work"

Is that work ?

 

[Santana2002]

not quite, but you are nearly there.

"The taking of initiatives is part of my work"
or better still: "Using my initiative is (an integral) part of my job."

 

[Franglaise1]

Pas d'article. Juste "Taking initiatives is part of my work"

Merci à vous deux !

J'ai rencontré "initiative is a key value/behavioural skill in my job".
