You have to be ______ in updating your troops.

You have to be ______ in updating your troops.

• A. Proactive
• B. Reactive
• C. Punctual
• D. Thorough

Answer: (A)

Being proactive means taking initiative to update your troops before questions or problems arise. In leadership, staying ahead with timely, anticipatory updates keeps everyone aligned, reduces uncertainty, and supports quick, coordinated decision-making when plans change. Waiting for events to trigger communication (being reactive) slows responses and can leave troops in the dark. While being punctual and thorough are valuable, the key idea here is taking the initiative to inform and prepare your team before it’s required.
