#Teams365 #910 - Teamwork Foundations - Flexibility and Adaptability

Flexibility and adaptability is key in today’s teams. The business context continues to shift and change with the need to be agile and fluid. AS team leaders we can help our teams become more flexible and adaptable. Some actions we can undertake are to

1. Model this in your own behavior in terms of how you approach changes
2. Encourage contingency thinking – in many workplaces today it is likely that things will not work as planned will not happen as planned. Getting into the habit of thinking about “
   what else” or what other options are is useful
3. Encourage out of the box thinking
4. Get team members thinking about the different perspectives and approaches
5. Encourage both right and left brain thinking – both the creative and reactive way
