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.
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.”
