Why adaptability is the new job security
- Change is inevitable. It could be technological innovations, economic disruptions, changes in the market, even worldwide pandemics. Things are moving fast, and it's likely it'll only get faster. So in a situation that may feel stressful or even out of control sometimes, how can we take back our agency and get ahead of the change curve? I'm Dorie Clark, and I teach for Columbia Business School, and I'm the author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller "The Long Game." Cultivating your ability to be adaptable may be the single most important thing you can do for your job and career security because it means you're ready for whatever comes next. When you're willing to try new things, learn new things, and stay flexible, that's a skill you can take with you and learn forever. The truth is we don't know what's coming down the pike, but with this course, what you'll know is you'll be adaptable and you'll be prepared.
