Flexibility at Work

You created your plan to complete a project but an issue arises requiring you to change that plan. In life and work, you must be flexible.

Change is coming. Conditions will change. Clients will decide to go a different way. Coworkers will have a better idea. Your leader will change the parameters of the project. These things are inevitable.

Flexibility is being ready, willing and able to change based on different circumstances. The most successful people, especially business owners and executives, foresee upcoming change and adjust.

We must not be content with the status quo. We must be content with change. We must accept that the status quo will not be the status quo.

Change should not be seen as the enemy. It is your chance to make things better. Adjusting to different circumstances makes you relevant. People who are unwilling to make changes are typically difficult to work with. Those unwilling to make adjustments fall behind.

Making changes requires more effort, so those who avoid extra effort try to avoid change.

Flexibility is not a bad word. It is a quality that makes you more valuable.
