In 10 Critical Competencies For Today’s Workforce (Forbes, 6 May 2021) Heide Abelli lists the 10 critical competencies required to be successful in today’s digital economy. The first is Learning Agility

“Being able to learn rapidly and flexibly is critical in a world where the half-life of skills is shrinking. What is required to become an agile learner?

• Taking ownership of personal and professional growth.
• Adopting a growth mindset and the belief that capability can be developed through continuous learning.
• Identifying and embracing strategies for gaining new knowledge, behaviors and skills.
• Learning from others both within and outside the organization.
• Adopting new approaches to expand the scope of one’s work in order to learn more from work assignments.”
