maybe they do like you... \nwhen they ask you this - do u say YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING and if so this is probably why they don't ask you to do something with them... \nNext time they ask and you say - you are doing something maybe it would be a good idea to invite them to do it with you.\nIf you say you are doing NOTHING maybe you should say "nothing - so would you like to do something with me?" \nIf they are always asking you what u are doing and you want to do something with them because you like them... just ask them to do something instead of waiting for them to ask you

Taking initiative means coming up with good new ideas and presenting them properly in the context of the corporate culture where you work.  If your company is very much about chain of command, then you need to bring your ideas to your supervisor.  If it's very innovative and free thinking, you'd use a different approach.\n\nIt also depends on what 'level' you are at the company.  Most companies would probably frown on an admin assistant who tried to startup a new multimillion dollar program without telling anyone...while an upper level exec can do that and is expected to do that.
