Learning Agility Defined:
The willingness and ability to learn from
experience and the ability to apply what
you’ve learned for effective performance in
new or unfamiliar conditions.

22.
People who are learning agile: Seek out experiences to learn from; enjoy
complex problems and challenges associated with new experiences because
they have an interest in making sense of them; perform better because they
incorporate new skills into their repertoire.
A person who is learning agile has more lessons,
more tools, and more solutions to draw on when
faced with new business challenges.”

With each generation entering the workplace, a greater emphasis is placed on
continual development as these new employees know that they are unlikely to stay
more than a few years;
…It’s about what they can develop and acquire to take to the
next stop in the career journey.
We know that effective leaders are one of the most important influences on levels of
engagement.
