What’s in it for me? Adopt an agile mindset to thrive in uncertain times.

Ever been caught in a whirlwind of change during your career? While the pandemic may seem like the cause of rapid shifts in the global economy, the modern world has long been a playground of flux for professionals. Now, more than ever, it’s being fueled by disruptive forces like technology. The question, then, isn’t so much about how to recover from change – but about what you can do to adapt and thrive on inevitable transformation.

Mental agility is your compass in this dynamic arena. This goes beyond quick thinking – it’s a nurtured mindset for riding complexity, seamlessly pivoting between ideas, and soaking in the thrill of learning.

In this Blink, you’ll discover the power of an agile mindset through five fundamental tenets: building resilience, navigating cognitive twists, cultivating a growth-infused outlook, fine-tuning emotional intelligence, and kindling meaningful connections.

Become more resilient

Let’s be honest: change has been the name of the game for decades. We’ve got tech revolutions, societal shifts, and economic roller coasters all playing their part in the grand evolution of work. This is why resilience will always matter – it’s the first line of defense against the crazy twists of the modern work world.

To be more resilient in uncertain times, you need three things in your toolkit: confidence, adaptability, and mastery.

Confidence is about believing you can conquer the curveballs thrown your way. Think of it as that moment when you tackle a puzzle – you’re not sure how you’ll solve it, but you know you’ll figure it out. For inspiration, just look at how Spotify thrived during the COVID-19 pandemic. Relying on advertising revenue from free users, the company faced a pandemic-induced budget cut crisis. To reclaim control, it swiftly shifted gears, introducing original content akin to Netflix, striking exclusive podcast deals, and orchestrating radio shows. Despite unclear solutions, Spotify’s strategy hinged on an unwavering belief in its ability to identify and tackle challenges.

Next up is adaptability. This is an enormous ninja skill because it enables you to turn slipups into stepping stones. Elon Musk, the feedback guru, swears by this. He embraces tweaking and twisting things based on feedback from others until they work like a charm. Beyond seeking feedback, Musk relies on self-questioning – adapting his thinking and behavior to enhance outcomes – and an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement.

Finally, mastery allows you to remain calm during any storm. Remember how Lego pulled off its jaw-dropping comeback after facing a 30 percent sales drop and $800 million debt in 2003? Jørgen Vig Knudstorp’s appointment as CEO marked an astounding turnaround. He refocused on core strengths, such as harnessing insights on children’s play habits and embracing low-risk innovation. The arguably instinctive move to go back to basics enabled Lego to reclaim its status as a global powerhouse by 2015.

In short, these pillars of resilience aren’t acts to perform in a silo. They go hand in hand, so you can stay undeterred in the face of market uncertainty. You’re building a toolkit – now use it as you prepare for the future of work.

Now that you have the blueprint for resilience down pat, it’s time to mentally prepare for the chaos by ramping up your cognitive flexibility.

Increase your mental flexibility

Crafting a mindset for success isn’t just about wearing a power tie or having the fanciest gadgets. It’s about taking advantage of your brain power for success amid uncertainty.

Enter cognitive flexibility. To be mentally flexible, you first need to fine-tune your mental orchestra and adjust its strings to rev up your motivation and work performance. So what does it take to maintain cognitive flexibility and readily embrace uncertainty? Here’s a two-step strategy.

Believe you can grow

Imagine you’ve just stepped out of a job interview, feeling good about how it went. The position seems like the perfect fit, and you’re excited and hopeful. But a week later, the recruiter calls with the news: you didn’t get the job. Why? They chose someone with more experience.

It’s a heavy blow, no doubt. And if you have a fixed mindset, you might think, “Well, I guess I’ll never be good enough in interviews. I just can’t shake my nerves.” But that’s like putting up a mental wall that tells you your abilities are set in stone – that you’ve hit your limit.

Leverage your emotions to fuel endurance

You’re in a room alive with conversations, where unspoken emotions shape every interaction. It’s a hidden symphony of feelings, a dance of connections guided by emotional intelligence.

According to Lisa Feldman Barrett, the author of How Emotions Are Made, emotions are intricate constructs woven from personal history, experiences, and biology. They serve as the lens through which we perceive the world, offering profound insights into our reactions and interpretations.

Unleash the power of connection

Strong connections at work are the bedrock of mental agility. They matter because connecting in professional settings isn’t just about sharing ideas – it’s about achieving success via shared purpose and mutual support.

There are two levels of connection: individual and group. Let’s talk about connecting with others on an individual basis first.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
