Adaptability
... is a combination of flexibility, your attitude and willingness to adapt, and versatility, your ability to adapt.
The effectively adaptable person meets the other person’s needs and his own by treating others as they would like to be treated.
Adaptability changes with context and most people think they are more adaptable than they actually are.
