Thanks

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

These sentences have the same gist.
1. I believe in taking a hands-on approach to improve things when I see they're not going in the right direction.
2. When things aren't going well, I prefer to dive in and make a difference.

Some more ideas come to mind.
1. Getting my hands dirty (an idiom a native speaker might use)
2. Take charge.

#1 is something we say literally translated in spanish.
#2 is not exactly what I want to mean. Because I can't take charge of many things since it is a big company.

Not exactly what I mean.
In own actions yeah. The context (I didn't explained it correctly before) is corporate. There is a network created by one of the chairmans about culture@work and professional change of mind.
I am part of it and I do what I can as a speaker, moderator of groups helping other departments to improve processes, showing there are other ways of doing things and things like that...

Then, the best word I feel is "Suggestion", as in
"I would like to suggest these enhancements in our ways of working (aimed at addressing these pain points). Let's try these for a couple of weeks/months, and evaluate after that period".

YAA (yet another attempt) :
Because I didn't like how things are being done and, for me, the best way to improve something is, to roll up one's sleeves and take action ...

Exactly. The short form.
I might add, "one man's meat is another man's poison" just to complicate things.

One side of a phone conversation heard in a supermarket:
Quote: No, I didn't "fall off the wagon" last night.
...
I prefer to think of it as "being a recovering teetotaller".

It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

The phrase "On the wagon" has an amusing history. To say one has fallen off of it is twisting things a bit. It originated in Louisiana, USA in the 1800s. During the Marde Gras celebration various areas would make a large community pot of gumbo. An important part of this was a group of people rode a wagon and on horseback around to all of the local farms and each of them one would contribute something for the gumbo. They would also pass around a bottle of moonshine at each stop. To be "on the wagon" meant someone had drank so much along the way they couldn't ride their horse anymore and they had to ride the wagon. To say one has "fallen off the wagon" is kind of a non sequitur to this story. It really means they were so drunk they couldn't even ride the wagon because being on the wagon was about excessive intoxication.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"
