Adaptability is your edge when stepping into the unfamiliar.
The first week of school is all about adjusting. My daughters walk into a new classroom with a different teacher, fresh routines, and expectations they haven’t learned yet. Every classroom has its own rhythm.
Work is the same. A new boss, a new team, or a new project can leave even seasoned professionals feeling like the “new kid.”
The leaders who thrive in those moments lean on adaptability:
· Listening and observing first
· Understanding the “why” behind decisions
· Adjusting their style without losing their authenticity
Whether it’s a September classroom or a new workplace role, adaptability is your edge.
