Proactive entrepreneurs have carefully thought out strategic paths to achieve their business goals.

This course will disclose the elements of proactivity and teach you the techniques to become a more proactive person, employee or entrepreneur.

We will begin with an overview of proactivity as a concept and demonstrate various scenarios in which brands and political leaders have displayed proactive behaviour. Following this, we explore some techniques like envisioning your future work self and embracing innovative behaviour that will help you on your path to becoming a more proactive individual.

In addition, you will learn to use political skills to better interact with and influence colleagues. In the summative lessons, you will learn the difference between proactive and reactive strategies and gain insight into the importance of forecasting and scenario analysis.
