'show foresight' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'take hand to shake without greeting?' is the wordplay.
'to shake' indicates anagramming the letters.
'without' means one lot of letters goes inside another ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'greeting?' becomes 'hi' (hi is a kind of greeting).
'take'+'hand'='takehand'
'takehand' with letters rearranged gives 'tnkahead'.
'tnkahead' placed around 'hi' is 'THINK AHEAD'.
