Proactive: Taking action by causing change and not only reacting to change when it happens

Companies are going to have to be more proactive about environmental management.
Excerpts from soaps, novels and films:
Bold and the beautiful
“Thorne: You talked to my mother?
Taylor: Yes, she came over here, but I think she was using that phone thing as an excuse to talk about other things.
Thorne: What other things?
Taylor: Well, I guess you mentioned that little kiss that happened, and being the proactive parent she is, she was all over it.”

The above site defines proactive very beautifully:

“Being proactive means thinking and acting ahead - basically, this means using foresight. It’s a great method for avoiding more work down the road but also can be extremely important for averting disasters, planning well for the future and for instituting systems at work, in study and at home that make life easier for not just you, but others as well.”
