Literary notes about proactive (AI summary)
The term proactive is employed to emphasize actions taken in anticipation rather than in reaction to circumstances. Within discussions on law and politics, it marks an active strategy meant to prevent issues before they emerge, as noted in the context of legal frameworks [1, 2]. Its use extends to public institutions, highlighting the forward-thinking approaches of libraries that engage with technological shifts [3, 4]. In dynamic environments such as the media or military settings, leadership is similarly depicted as needing to adopt proactive measures to effectively balance mission objectives with personnel needs [5].
