Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

The difference between a leader who creates long-term value and one who merely goes through the motions often comes down to a commitment to lifelong learning. [I] In today's rapidly changing business environment, organisations around the world face significant transitions. [II] Companies need talents capable of adapting up-and-downs in supply chains and keeping up with innovations and new technologies. Organisations that prioritise lifelong learning are better equipped to tackle unexpected challenges, such as pandemics. [III] This underscores the importance of lifelong learning and highlights the need to develop effective lifelong learning strategies. [IV]

 

Firstly, cultivating this mindset requires using time wisely. A significant hurdle to learning new skills or achieving goals is finding the time to do so. Time is a precious resource, and we must focus it on what matters most. Without a purposeful strategy, our objectives may become lost among competing responsibilities.

Secondly, routines often shape our mornings, evenings, and daily activities. Effective time management begins with a clear understanding of our goals and the reasons behind our tasks. By being mindful of how we allocate our time, we can make consistent progress toward our aspirations.

Additionally, we should remain open to feedback, which is a key tool for assessing growth in both personal and professional contexts. While performance evaluations may be uncomfortable, embracing feedback enables us to monitor our development and improve. Input from others is essential for our learning and improvement. So, remember to pay attention to the feedback you receive and use it as an opportunity to build on what you have learned. To truly become lifelong learners, we must welcome challenges from others and allow ourselves to grow.
