Art of Versatility

“Jack of all trades or master of one,” this classic statement is most relevant in today’s world of business whether it's corporate companies or showbiz. Some might argue that expertise or being ‘master of one’ is rather essential and no doubt it is. However, in today’s business settings what thrives and attracts the limelight is versatility.

The zest to keep learning, openness to take on challenges on diverse platforms, and flexibility to adapt to the changes are the key to survive amidst daunting stress and fear of failure. Versatility is often connected with artists and the need and zeal of inculcating and performing diverse roles on different platforms.

Mastering the art of versatility

#1 Cross-platform performance

Employers often introduce cross-training platforms to ensure employees have adequate knowledge about other operations and skillsets. So, when the need comes employees can fill in another’s place or give a helping hand to ensure smoother operations on the floor.

Step out of your job role when needed and take the initiative to do jobs outside your normal roles. This will help you develop and depict versatility at work.

#2 Going beyond the comfort zone

No matter in which field you work there comes a time when some challenges at the workplace encourage you to leave your comfort zone. In today’s fast-paced environment, the need to adopt new technology, techniques, and training to survive the stress and thrive in the competition becomes necessary and thus extending your comfort zone becomes essential.

#3 Adapting the change

“Change is the only constant,” Greek philosopher Heraclitus had said. Whether it's to survive in the world or thrive in a career one has to be flexible in approach and adaptable towards change in time, technology, or turn to play a different role in your career.
