proactive ('.)
a word that has been fashionable in middle management circles for 15 or 20 years now, and appears to mean, more or less, “active” but something more than just “reactive”. In any case in in the management target it has taken on something of a universal virtue, notwithstanding that it is to be proactive to start bar fights, breaking and entering, and mail fraud.
