What is a sign of professional development in the workplace?

• A. Avoiding feedback and resisting change.
• B. Seeking feedback, attending trainings, and applying new knowledge to practice.
• C. Continuing to perform tasks without learning.
• D. Focusing only on completing tasks.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is active professional development: growing your skills and improving performance over time. Seeking feedback shows you’re open to others’ perspectives and want to identify areas to improve. Attending trainings keeps you current with new methods and tools. Applying what you’ve learned to your actual work demonstrates that learning leads to better practice and results. Together, these behaviors show a commitment to improving and adapting in the workplace.

The other patterns reflect a lack of growth—avoiding feedback and resisting change suggests reluctance to improve; continuing tasks without learning indicates stagnation; focusing only on completing tasks ignores opportunities to grow and enhance performance.
