Proactive Thinking in the Workplace

Are you a proactive or reactive thinker? Do you react to events that occur around you, or do you take the initiative to prepare for, participate in, and/or control those events?

A proactive approach can be helpful in many areas of life, including the workplace. Anticipating change and taking the necessary steps to deal with it can help avert a crisis. A reactive approach, on the other hand, involves reacting to change or crisis after it happens.
