As a manager, I happily promoted proactive employees
As a manager, I happily promoted proactive employees.
Proactive employees didn't merely bring me problems. They brought me solutions. They thought carefully about the problem first.
They didn't merely do assigned work. They proposed important work that we were overlooking.

They were exceptional code reviewers. They didn't just review the submitted code. They pointed out missing code (features, security issues, performance problems, usability concerns, potential enhancements).
They didn't merely help when asked. They proactively helped others.
🧵
Proactive employees make a manager's job easier because they think like a manager. They observe the team and regularly ask:
"What should we stop doing?"
"What should we start doing?"
"Where can we improve?"
"How can I help?"
