The politically competent manager
Article Abstract:
Proactive managers differ from reactive managers in three major ways: (1) proactive managers set clear priorities; (2) proactive managers invest resources according to desired objectives; and (3) proactive managers are consciously and politically competent. Politically competent managers influence others and exercise power while keeping in mind survival and growth of the organization; they are able to realistically assess the reciprocity and interdependence of interorganizational working agreements and bargains.

Monitoring individual performance in relation to these findings may help to establish learning difficulties. Individual learning styles should be considered when developing training courses for employees in the workplace.
