Adaptability & Engagement

Flexibility

Flexibility means responding flexibly to changes and finding new paths. You're not just willing to adjust plans; you also see opportunities in unexpected situations.

The greatest danger in life is not that we set our aims too high and miss them, but that we set them too low and achieve them. - Benjamin M. Franklin

The Spontaneous Meeting

Marie works in a dynamic start-up. When an important project is suddenly in jeopardy, she immediately proposes a quick brainstorming session with the team. Her ability to analyze the situation and quickly develop alternative solutions brings the group together and excites everyone.

The blind spot
