Wow, if that is true, what if we could measure it and use this information for hiring and promotion decisions. Good idea – and the good news is you can!

So what is learning agility? It can be described as: The ability to deal effectively with complexity and ambiguity.

People with learning agility connect the dots faster on problems that others can not seem to solve. They are self aware and know their own strengths and blind spots when handling situations. They like to experiment with new ways of doing things, and they are motivated to achieve results. Actually they are almost childlike in their approach to learning new things, with lots of curiosity and imagination.

Research has shown that learning agility is pretty randomly distributed in the work place and there does not seem to be a correlation between learning agility and age (some old dogs can learn new tricks after all!), gender, or years of experience.

So how do you go about assessing someone’s learning agility? There are pretty accurate assessment tools out there that can really help. One such tool is the Cognitive Processes Profile which is a computer based game simulation. It takes about an hour and a half to complete but the results can be very enlightening. Think about using something like this the next time you want to stack the odds in your favor when hiring or promoting a leader in your organization.

In addition to the many many insightful comments left on our daily tips, we also received some great advice on how we can better serve our readers. So, we here at DailyHRTips.com put our heads together, worked as a team, took some of our own change management and feedback tips, and implemented some of the great suggestions we heard in the past 5 weeks.

The biggest change you will notice is that our daily human resources tips are divided in to 5 categories:

  • Change Management Monday

  • Talent Management Tuesday

  • Employee Training Wednesday

  • HR Book Review Thursday

  • Career Development Friday

For easier access to these tips, take a look at the little red arrows in the center column (look right). If you click on one of these arrows, the most recent posts for each day will appear.

We hope this change improves your reading experience at DailyHRTips.com. Please continue to send through your comments and suggestions!
