активный
Explanation:
"aktivnyi". There's no analogue in Russian. The word "proactive" has been invented to emphasize the intensity of the action. Besides, if you use just "active" it may be understood as, e.g., "busy", "in the state of action" ("deistvuyushchyi", действующий).

45 mins peer agreement (net): +2 проактивный, готовый к решительным действиям
Explanation:
There is no exact translation for this word in Russian.
When I had to translate it, I usually used the word "proactivny". However, you can give a brief explanation instead. This word is often used as opposite to "reactive"

1 hr peer agreement (net): +2 Инициативный
Explanation:
There *is* a good, appropriate and widely used term - "initsiativny".
The meaning is exactly what you said. Also compare a set phrase "vzyat' initsiativu v svoi ruki".
Initsiativny - 1) proyavlyayushchiy initsiativu, 2)predpriimchivy (s. below)

Explanation:
By the way,
initsiativa - pochin, vnutrenneye pobuzhdeniye k novym formam deyatelnosti, predpiimchivost\\\'. (The same reference)
Again by the way, \\\'predpriimchivy\\\' is a good term, too. It is \\\"more Russian\\\", but is often used when referring to successful business people, which might not be the case here. The first one is better.

1 hr peer agreement (net): +1 активный
Explanation:
"aktivnyj" This translation seems to me the most adequate in the sentence "A man who is good at initiating action is seen as proactive". Nevertheless, other translations are possible in another context, for example, деятельный (dejatel'nyj), инициативный (iniciativnyj).

2 hrs peer agreement (net): +1 initsiativny (инициативный)
Explanation:
Is this term to understand or to translate?
Proactive (adjective)- tending to take the initiative in making things happen, or anticipating events before they happen, rather than waiting until they happen and then reacting.
"Charles couldn't help but be impressed as he listened to Camilla explaining to the client the need to adopt a more proactive stance to raise the company's investor relations profile".
Campaign 1 July 1988
Proactive has been used for some time as a technical term in educational psychology, reffering to interference in the learning process caused by things learned previously (the literal sense of the Latin-based compound being "acting forwards"). In recent years, however, it has become a buzzword in management and allied fields, contrasting the thrusting get-up-and-goness of the 1980s enterprise culture with the supine commercial practices of former years when companies (now deservedly defunct) were content to sit back and wait for business.
