The term "more take-charge" implies a person who is proactive, assertive and can take the authoritative lead in situations. The antonyms for this would be passive, meek, submissive, indecisive, uncertain, and apprehensive. In contrast, a person who is passive tends to wait for others to make decisions and take charge. Meek individuals lack assertiveness, while submissive people will consistently defer to others. Indecisive people cannot make decisions, while uncertain people lack confidence in their abilities. Apprehensive people are also more inclined to hesitate and are not likely to take charge. While being more take-charge can be an admirable trait, the above antonyms do not necessarily represent failures in character, but perhaps a different approach to situations.
