Here's how you can maintain adaptability in a telecommunications leadership role.

Renovarse o morir. Asi de simple. Cuando inicié en el mundo de las telecomunicaciones en el a?o 1993 hago referencia a líneas telefónicas analógicas, Tie lines E&M, interfaces de comunicación de datos por RS-232 o de “alta velocidad” con V.35, comunicación satelital a 64 Kbps, conexión por módems a 9.6 Kbps. ?Fibra óptica? Solo para grandes corporativos como G.E. Capital que fue donde por primera vez vi un equipo de Fibra óptica de Telmex. Hoy en día todo es IP, datos, voz y video por internet, Fibra óptica en domicilio, tan cotidiano, que en esa época nunca hubiéramos imaginado que sería así. Simplemente, como en casi todo, pero principalmente en Telecomunicaciones: LO UNICO CONSTANTE ES EL CAMBIO!!!

- Telecommunications as I have experienced it is usually a fully plan driven industry except for the part of R&D. This makes the whole approach predictable and not very suited to agile processes. - “Change is the only constant in life”. Even with the plan driven approach, we still encounter frequent and rapid changes that require one in the industry to be Agile by self in their ways of work. - Management usually avoid such introduction but I deeply believe and have practiced that being agile is the best way to approve change through continuous improvement.

1. In an agile environment as Telecommunications systems one needs to be agile themselves (Embracing change). 2. Due to the agile nature of the environment one needs to undergo continuous learning to keep up with the various changes in the telecommunications environment. 3. Empowering teams helps team members keep up with certain skill sets needed in the ever-changing telecommunications space breeding adaptability to change and success of teams.

Being in any leadership position in the Telecommunications arena is a very entertained and challenging role, where definitely you can't get bored! There are many new things to learn every day; new technologies, significant improvements to the existing ones, new industry standard and updates, new features and integrations, new market demands,... Depending on the role of your position, you'll define within this spectrum of daily changes, which ones will drive to your next entertainment.

In the fast-paced telecom industry, adaptability is key. Telecommunication leaders can stay ahead by continuously learning new technologies, fostering a team environment that embraces experimentation, and actively seeking feedback to adjust strategies as needed. This ensures they're always prepared for the next wave of innovation.

- Continuous Learning is a keyword when we are working with technology - Telecommunications is always changing and improving everytime, we can say that at least each 5 yeas we have a new "G" to be launched on market - So, it is very important to dedicate a time to learn and improve the knowledgment in Telecommunications and also to teach what you have learned.

Nunca se deja de aprender, el ser humano esta constantemente en etapas de aprendizaje, cada dia aprendemos algo nuevo. En temas de Telecomunicaciones y tecnología, es imperativo estar atento a los cambios y evolución constante, el progreso tecnológico esta avanzando a pasos agigantados y debemos estar aprendiendo en cada actualización hoy por hoy la IA nos demuestra que debemos aprender a manejar la tecnología para aprovechar mas nuestra experiencia y aplicarla en todo nuestro entorno.

In a field as dynamic as telecommunications, continuous learning is essential. Leaders should commit to lifelong learning, not only by keeping up with industry-specific knowledge but also by developing skills in related areas such as digital transformation, cybersecurity, and customer experience management. This can be achieved through various means, such as attending industry conferences, participating in professional development programs, and encouraging team members to pursue certifications and further education. By prioritizing learning, leaders can ensure they are equipped to navigate the complexities of the industry and drive their teams towards success.

Todos os dias temos que aprender algo novo com naturalidade e no ambito profissional o aprendizado nos capacita, nos torna melhores, nos prepara para acontecimentos presentes e futuros em qualquer contexto. Gosto de aprender com paciência e adoro ensinar com paix?o, no local de trabalho ou fora dele. Every day we have to learn something new naturally and within the professional sphere learning empowers us, makes us better, prepares us for present and future events in any context. I like to learn with patience and I love teaching with passion, in the workplace or outside of it.

Continuous learning is key to keeping pace in the industry of telecommunication because of the technological change time to time,for instance the introduction of 5G network and cloud server.... which needs one to upgrade their knowledge time to time

Según mi experiencia y que me ha funcionado muy bien es mantener mentalidad positiva ante los cambios, es primordial, ya que como líder se transmite a los equipos, con mentalidad positiva nos adaptamos mejor y lo vemos como una posibilidad de crecimiento, tomándolo como un desafío, motivándonos a crecer, estudiar y aprender de lo nuevo...

Empowering teams is critical for fostering adaptability. Leaders should focus on building a collaborative and inclusive work environment where team members feel valued and motivated to contribute their best ideas. By delegating authority and encouraging autonomy, leaders can create a culture of ownership and accountability. This not only enhances team performance but also enables quicker decision-making and innovation.

Empowering the team is crucial to be able to delegate activities and make the team grow. Support the team during challenges, such as leadership, and encourage them in the face of mistakes. Praise victories and teach others the path to empowerment within the team.

To maintain adaptability in a telecommunications leadership role, it is essential to stay abreast of the latest technologies, market trends and industry standards. Fostering an innovative environment that encourages new ideas and ensuring clear, consistent communication with theteam, stakeholders and customers is paramount in this role.
