Adaptability is the personality trait that helps determine how you respond to change. It’s composed of flexibility (your willingness to change) and versatility (your ability to change). Adaptable people are less anxious and deal better with changes than those were not.While we may have natural tendencies to be more or less adaptable, we can consciously decide to be more mentally flexible.

Adaptability

Adaptable people take adversity in stride, adjusting their thoughts and expectations to suit their new reality, instead of dwelling on "what could have been."Being adaptable means you change yourself to accommodate your circumstances, which is often easier than changing your circumstances.

Bounce Back Quickly From Adversity

Adaptable people excel as leaders, earn the respect of their peers, inspire those around them to embrace change, and helps to facilitate even the most unanticipated transitions.Unlike adaptable leaders, a leader unable to pivot quickly could hurt employees and the organization as a whole.
