1. Honestly evaluate yourself on how adaptable and flexible you are. Do you resist change, grudgingly accept it, or embrace it? Do you view changed situations as problems or as different situations that may present opportunities?

2. Ask peers and your managers how they rate you on adaptability and flexibility.

3. List five tasks you do routinely. For each task, make notes on how you could improve the way you do it or be more productive in completing it.

4. Make a commitment to do something new every week, such as spend time or work with a person from a different culture or with someone who has very different views than you do.

5. Volunteer to take on a new responsibility.
