• Curiosity- being genuinely interested in what transpires in your company, department, industry, and wider business environment.
• Flexibility- trying new approaches and ideas when new information suggests the need to do so.
• Focus on the future- thinking about your company’s operational conditions that may change in the coming months and years. Remaining alert for opportunities that may prove valuable in the future — as well as threats that may be looming.
• Maintain a positive outlook- viewing challenges as opportunities, and believing that success is possible.
• Openness- welcoming new ideas from others, including outside stakeholders such as customers, suppliers, and business partners.
• Self-expansion- continually working to broaden your knowledge and experience. Doing so will help you to see connections and patterns across seemingly unrelated fields of knowledge.
