Exhibiting self-direction in the workplace shows?

• A. The employees have the ability to work independently
• B. Need constant supervision
• C. Inability to plan
• D. Not following instructions

Answer: (A)

Self-direction means taking initiative and managing your work with little need for oversight. When someone demonstrates self-direction, they can assess tasks, set priorities, plan the steps to complete them, and carry out the work with minimal supervision. This is why the option describing that employees can work independently best fits. It shows they can organize and complete tasks on their own.

Constant supervision suggests they lack self-direction. Inability to plan contradicts self-direction, since planning is part of managing one’s own work. Not following instructions also goes against self-direction, which still involves adhering to policies and guidelines while acting independently.
