French term
logique de guichet

used as a heading to describe a reactive approach as opposed to a proactive one (don't wait for people to ask but take it to them) It seems a fairly standard phrase in French but I wondered if we have one in English.

sitting in the back seat
That's how I would phrase a heading for taking a wait-and-see approach (another possibility). But sitting in the back seat is particularly nice, I think, because it lends itself to contrast with "taking the driver's seat" for being proactive.
But it really depends on the context. If we had more about the text that follows the heading, we might come up with additional phrases.
