What is Adaptability?

Adaptability is the personality trait that helps determine how you respond to a change.

Why we should be Adaptable?

Adaptability is a soft skill that means being able to rapidly learn new skills and behaviours in response to changing circumstances. Employers usually look for adaptability when hiring new staff and the skill is often included in job descriptions because of its importance for growth within a role. And adaptable people are less anxious and can deal with great changes easily, more mentally flexible, excel as leaders, earn the respect of their peers, inspire those around them to embrace change, and helps to facilitate even the most unpredicted possibility.

What happened to me and how I overcame this flaw?

My family usually doesn’t tell me anything from the beginning, they explain things at very crucial moments and I have to change my plan for that day. Mostly I used to lose my control over that sudden changes. I cannot change elders as they don’t want to, at least in my case so I thought to change myself, then I start to think what should I do in such circumstances so I figured out these :-

· Calm down: First cool your mind, stop whining about it.

· Ask\Tell­­: Talk to them calmly. (If it’s possible.)

· Think about the situation in a positive way, don’t let your mind to take control over you.

· Don’t think that everything will flow according to you.

· Consider every possibility, your mind will accept changes.

· Have multiple plans, it will help as a substitute so you can cover other things later.

· Don’t limit yourself, think out of the box.

· Be open to change, give yourself chance to learn new things and experience.

· Stop blaming, it’s just a waste of time.

· Don’t argue, I must say “worst thing to do.”

· Don’t mindlessly believe that something is wrong, be positive.

· Final words

Well, these were my concepts, don’t limit yourself to these. You will find better ways to become adaptable if you will focus and think calmly. And there are books available about adaptability here is one from Max McKeown “Adaptability: The Art of Winning In An Age of Uncertainty” and another from M. J. Ryan “Adaptability: How to Survive Change You Didn’t Ask For” check these books out too and many other books are available too. Thank you for going throughout my article.
