SgtMajs Takeaway - ADAPTABLE Blessed are the flexible, for they are never bent out of shape. The individuals who will succeed and flourish will also be masters of change: adapt at reorienting their own and others actions in untried directions to bring about higher levels of achievement. People who exhibit adaptability have certain characteristics: TEACHABLE- They are highly teachable. EMOTIONALLY SECURE- People who are not see almost everything as a challenge or threat. CREATIVE- When difficult times come, They find a way. SERVICE MINDED- People focused on themselves, are less likely to make changes for the team. One of the greatest Generals in Military history was Napoleon Bonaparte. Made a full General at age 26, he utilized shrewd strategy, bold cunning, and lightning speed to his advantage to win many victories. The Duke of Wellington, one of the Generals most formidable enemies, said, I consider Napoleons presence in the field to equal forty thousand men in the balance. I will tell you the mistake you are always making, Napoleon once told an opponent he defeated. You draw up your plans the day before battle, when you do not yet know your adversarys movements. Napoleon recognized in his opponent a lack of adaptability. S/F SgtMaj
