While many management styles are found in business, two dominant foundations are at the bottom of each style: proactive and reactive. These foundations exist beyond the individual's personality or character traits.
- The proactive management foundation is an open, engaging type of management that includes gathering information from all departments or managers before making decisions. Being proactive also creates a strong learning environment for employees.
- Proactive management focuses on breaking down systems and processes to find flaws and control problems before they become out of control.
- In order to accomplish large tasks or process changes, proactive managers engage other managers and employees to complete these tasks. Proactive managers seek to work through people, not to people.
- Goal setting is an important part of proactive management. Goals provide a strong focus for team members to complete tasks; offering incentives to employees may also help proactive managers achieve their goals.
- Feedback is an important part of proactive management as this helps them identify problems in their management process. Proactive managers also use feedback to learn news ways of accomplishing tasks more effectively.
