Despite its benefits, several barriers can impede the development of a proactive mindset: 1. Resistance to Change: Employees and management may resist changing established practices. 2. Lack of Resources: Limited financial or human resources can hinder proactive initiatives. 3. Short-term Focus: A focus on short-term gains over long-term planning can prevent proactive thinking. 4. Inadequate Information: Without accurate and timely information, it’s challenging to anticipate future trends and challenges.
