When staff members take individual initiative to stay on top of things and to pay attention to detail, they are practicing which of the following skills?

• A. Cooperation
• B. With-it-ness
• C. Problem-solving
• D. Conflict management

Answer: (C)

Staying on top of things and paying attention to detail reflects with-it-ness—a supervisor’s ability to monitor what’s happening, notice potential issues early, and keep things moving smoothly. This proactive awareness helps prevent problems before they arise and ensures tasks are followed through. Problem-solving is about finding solutions after a problem appears, cooperation focuses on teamwork, and conflict management deals with handling disagreements. So, the best fit for this behavior is with-it-ness.
