People with a reactive attitude: · Don’t typically take responsibility for their actions and the consequences · Often find themselves “fighting fires” and dealing with crises People with a proactive attitude: · Take responsibility for their actions and the consequences · Don’t “fight fires” often since they prefer “preventive medicine” and looking at the long-range effects of their actions. Now, notice I said “people with a proactive/reactive attitude” rather than “proactive/reactive people”. Because you can choose to think and act proactively or reactively — it’s not “who you are.” All it takes is some self-awareness.
