The expectation is that things are as good as they are likely to get and the future will only be worse. Any additional change is likely to be for the worse and should therefore be avoided. Preactive - predict the future Preactive planning is an attempt to predict the future and then to plan for that predicted future. Technological change is seen as the driving force bringing about the future, which will be better than the present or the past.
The planning process will seek to position the organization to take advantage of the change that is happening around them.
Proactive - create the future Proactive planning involves designing a desired future and then inventing ways to create that future state. This approach drastically improves productivity and efficiency with the new normal because it gives people the chance to work through the exploration phase of the change process in advance.

Before you speak, take just a few seconds to pause and think about your next words. In this case, thinking about the future. They do that by finding and acting on the three "Effective-Efficient" situations in their lives and jobs. Leaders have more time to work through the stages of changes because they have been aware of the change long before the end users are impacted. How might they react?
