Agile Employee



Agile employee in necessitated primarily by today’s rapidly   changing world. Proactive  employees are those who can  constantly  respond  to the  dynamic  work  environment and are the ones that everyone wants  to hire, retain and  develop for  the future.

Agile employees are those who do not  only  confront change  head on and  quickly adopt to the changing  circumstances  but  also actually welcome  the challenge  of uncertainties.
To continue to do things the way they were always done (without any changes) dooms you to failure.  It has become a critical skill today to be flexible, agile and responsive to the changing world.

Agile  employees have  widened  their  portfolios  of job roles, skills and experience  to become multifaceted with  varied and versatile  abilities  which  can be  applied and  recombined in numerous  ways  to fuel innovative  business value.

Agility is a mind set and an attitude.  It requires concerted effort to move from a simply reactive state to a more responsive one.  Following are few pointers:-

(a)       Approach your job from a new perspective.
(b)       Match yourself to whatever is changing.
(c)        Strive to innovate constantly.
(d)       Take intelligent risks.
(e)       Make yourself capable of handling diverse problems.
(f)        Be open to trying new approaches and learning new techniques
(g)       Take training   coaching to broaden learning
(h)       Self discipline is must to stay on the path

It is no longer sufficient to know just one job and be able to perform that job is one way.
