Adaptability is important in a changing, global work landscape. Individuals are able to adapt to changing job descriptions, and rotations in different roles. Being flexible and adjusting to new conditions, individuals are able to adapt their behavior to the situation at hand.

It also allows individuals to communicate and build relationships with varying hierarchies. It means versatility, able to learn from experience, improve behaviours and alter their actions as required. This enables the ability to effect change in a smooth and timely fashion.
