Proactivity is the personal and professional trait of anticipating future needs, problems, or opportunities and taking initiative to address them before they become urgent, rather than simply reacting to events as they occur. It's highly valued in workplace settings as a marker of leadership potential, self-direction, and the ability to identify and solve problems independently.
