Here's how you can foster adaptability in your team members.

Just like with any change initiative, choosing to embrace an adaptive strategy requires daily reminders and reinforcement. The leader must model the way, provide the why and constant messaging of the vision. It’s also critical to look for opportunities for the team to practice adapting. This teaches team members how to spot adaptable moments and how to calibrate together through the adaptive process.

Imagine you're the captain of a ship. If you're afraid of storms and only want calm seas, your crew will be nervous too. Being open to new ideas and challenges as a leader is like showing your crew you're excited to explore new waters. You might encounter rough seas (changes), but you see them as a chance to learn new skills (opportunities). This positive attitude rubs off on your team, making them more adaptable and willing to embrace change together.

Embracing change is extremely important because change is a constant at all times. I really appreciate companies that take their employee's concerns into consideration. Your employees will often repeat the complaints of your customers.

Leading by Example: You, as the leader, actively participate in online courses or workshops on the latest social media marketing strategies. You might even experiment with creating content for a new platform the team hasn't used before. Encouraging Team Learning: You allocate a budget for the team to attend relevant conferences or online training programs. You might even set aside some team meeting time for knowledge-sharing sessions where team members present on new things they've learned. Learning from New Projects: Let's say your company launches a new product line. This is a perfect opportunity to take on a new social media marketing project focused on reaching a new target audience.

Continuous learning keeps the body of knowledge up to date, but more than that, continuously learning disparate fields can provide a jumping off point for innovation or connection building. The more varied the skill set of team members, the more ways there will be to combine them in new and exciting ways.

Flexibility allows the team members to accommodate competing requirements as per their schedule and productivity. Flexibility permits the team members to take ownership of their business and allows managers not be mired in micromanagement. It builds trust or mission command as we call it in military. Must not be confused with abdication of managerial responsibility in totality but be available as and when needed and monitor when appropriate.

Embrace the wisdom of 'The only constant is change' (Heraclitus). Integrate flexibility into your team's daily routine. By allowing for different working styles and adapting project plans as needed, you demonstrate trust in your team's judgment. This, in turn, fosters a culture of adaptability. When flexibility becomes second nature, your team will be well-equipped to navigate unexpected situations and pivot seamlessly." This version uses the Heraclitus quote to emphasize the inevitability of change. It also highlights the trust that fostering flexibility builds within the team, ultimately leading to greater adaptability – a crucial skill in today's dynamic work environment.

Embracing flexibility in a workforce is crucial for adapting to changing needs, promoting employee satisfaction, and maintaining a competitive edge in the modern workplace.

A few things I've found success with include: Providing a sense of purpose to those who are taking on new or expanded responsibilities. It's not "because the job needs done," it's because "I need you for this." Oftentimes, the feeling of being needed can be the greatest motivator by itself, assisting in inspiring people to be willing to take risks. Additionally, for those who are nervous or afraid to take risks, I tend to reinforce the fact that a decision they make might not be the best, but the worst decision they can make is none at all. I can accept mistakes more than I can accept a failure to take action. Don't be afraid to mess up, it happens to all of us, but the lack of a willingness to take action is the worst action of all.

As Michelangelo said, 'The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.' Create a supportive culture where team members feel safe to take risks and make mistakes. This fosters an envt where adaptability can truly flourish. When individuals aren't paralyzed by fear of failure, they're empowered to experiment with new approaches and learn from their experiences. As a servant leader, your role is to provide guidance and reassurance, remembering that calculated risk-taking is an essential part of growth, both for individuals and the team as a whole." This version uses Michelangelo's quote to highlight the imp of aiming high and embracing the possibility of failure.

If you want to create a team that easily adapts to change here are a few things to consider: 1. Model authenticity and transparency. Be open and honest about your feelings about the change. This will give your team permission to do the same, and it will give you, as the leader, clues into what your team members value and where they're struggling. 2. Gain buy-in - WIIFM. Discuss what's in it for: - You as the leader - The Organization as a whole - The direct report/employee - The customer/client Have the courage to have open dialogue especially when there's nothing in it for the direct report/employee.

Freedom-to-fail is a necessity if you want team members to take risks. Sometimes the only way to learn is to try something that may not work out and employees need to feel that the failure won't reflect negatively on themselves personally. This approach can help foster an environment of experimentation, bravery, and innovation.
