Adaptability

The ability to put yourself in harmony with changed circumstances. Adaptable people embrace change as inevitable and exciting, remain nimble and flexible in the face of constant change and display a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty. Adaptability is a crucial capability in an increasingly volatile world where changes are bigger, happen faster and have less predictable outcomes than ever before.
