Becoming More Pro-active

What Does Being Proactive Mean?

Passive people have things happen to them.

Proactive people make things happen.

That's really it.

Being Pro-active

Do you want to let things happen to you, or so you want to make things happen?

So let's all be a little more pro-active.

If you want to get ahead you're going to have to get involved, get your hands dirty and take a risk.

Aha! There we have it.

Taking A Chance

Being pro-active involves the pro-activee taking a chance.

So maybe that's why proactivity for some is a scary place to go.

So if it's a good thing and gets things moving why is it a no-go area for some people?

Why Is Being Pro-Active Good?

Let's take a quick look at it.

If you're talking about asking people to risk sticking their necks out, one way to achieve it is to create an environment in which blame culture takes a back seat for a while.

If the risk of sticking your neck out and getting your head chopped off is lessened, then people are more likely to have a go.

Confidence Breeds Confidence

And as we all know, nothing breeds confidence better than confidence itself.

And with confidence comes new thinking, fresh ideas and the possibility of success.

Now isn't that worth a little risk-taking and a bit of a profile on the corporate radar?

Encouraging Pro-activity

To encourage proactivity in people you need management and an environment that looks to the long-term picture.

A setup that allows the opportunity for things to grow a little wild rather than always forcing them into straight lines.

Funny thing about human nature is that most times if you let go a little, it flies like a crow... in straight lines.
