Watch the short video above first.
The tone of the video is exaggerated, but have you ever worked on a project or had a co-worker who wasn’t adaptable?
Why is it sometimes difficult to deal with change and be adaptable?
What are some possible outcomes if you aren’t adaptable?
With the changing modern workforce, what traits does a person need to have to show they are adaptable? (How do you avoid “What Not to Do” responses to change.)
Do not answer all the questions above. I have listed these questions to get you thinking about adaptability. Share your thoughts, examples, and/or ideas about this topic. There are no right or wrong responses. I am expecting brief responses or stories that illustrate an understanding of the topic.
Grading
To get full credit I expect two well-written paragraphs that are 6-8 sentences each.
