proactive aspects for a project manager includes –
  • Identifying all the stakeholders early on in the project
  • Identifying all the risks and designing their risk response plans even before the project begins
  • Proactively requesting status updates and monitoring critical tasks
  • Proactively visualize critical paths and any hurdles that might need to be overcome
  • Have a Plan A and also a Plan B just in case Plan A fails

Proactive means to do things before you are told they need done. You have to know the job pretty well to be proactive. All managers are proactive or they don't stay in management very long. You have to "expect" what is going to happen & fix it or take care of it before a problem happens.
