Both internal and external factors influence flexibility. Internal Factors are personality traits (e.g., openness to experience), emotional intelligence, and growth mindset. External factors are supportive environments, organisational culture, and access to resources and training.
Flexibility is crucial when facing unexpected changes or uncertainties, as it allows individuals to adapt without becoming overwhelmed or resistant.
Being flexible means remaining composed under stress, reassessing goals or methods as needed, and maintaining productivity despite disruptions. It also includes the ability to pivot quickly in response to challenges, embracing change rather than avoiding it. Overall, flexibility enhances a person’s capacity to manage uncertainty, solve problems creatively, and thrive in environments where change is constant.
