Idioms / Maxims / Sayings / Alternative meanings | | Danish term or phrase: gribe bolde | Kandidaten vil blive vurderet på evnen til at gribe bolde, udvise forretningsforståelse og gennemføre projekter fra A til Z – baseret på et stærkt internt netværk med forståelse for de forskellige interesser og kulturer.
I translated "gribe bolde" as "run with the ball" but I'm not entirely sure it is right. I asked the client and they said that in Danish it means to "focus on and follow up on new ideas". Is there another, better translation for this phrase. I also thought about "take up a challenge" or something like that. I would be grateful for any other suggestions.
Thanks in advance. |

1 hr confidence: pick up signals (and act on them)
Explanation:
pick up signals and act on them
-- this how I think of it - catching ideas from what customers tell you or what is going on generally and adapting to the situation or taking advantage of it.
