What reflects a person's alignment with a proactive mindset when dealing with issues?

  1. Choosing to complain about problems

  2. Believing that some problems cannot be solved

  3. Working collaboratively to find solutions

  4. Deciding to wait for help

The correct answer is: Working collaboratively to find solutions

Having a proactive mindset is characterized by taking initiative and being solution-oriented. The option that best reflects this approach is collaborating with others to find solutions. This involves actively engaging in problem-solving, sharing ideas, and leveraging the strengths of a team to address challenges. It shows a willingness to take responsibility and make a positive impact rather than waiting for someone else to step in or accepting issues as unsolvable. The other options illustrate more passive or negative responses to problems. Complaining about issues reflects a lack of action or desire to change the situation, while believing some problems are unsolvable demonstrates resignation. Deciding to wait for help indicates a reliance on others rather than taking charge of the situation. By contrast, seeking collaboration emphasizes an active pursuit of resolution and demonstrates a proactive attitude toward challenges.
