You won’t find it in an ordinary dictionary, but the word is common now in management
literature:
Proactivity means that as human beings, we are responsible for our own lives.
If we think our lives are a function of our conditions, it is because we have, by conscious
decision or by default, chosen to empower those things to have control over us - we have let
ourselves become reactive. Reactive people are often affected by the weather, proactive
people carry their own weather with them.
Being proactive means recognizing our responsibility to make things happen. The people who
end up with the good jobs are those who seize the initiative to do whatever is necessary,
consistent with correct principles, to get the job done.
