Versatility

"Versatility is the ability to understand and work in the 'world' of another.  It means valuing differences so we look for a person's strengths not weaknesses.  It means respecting different ways of learning, hearing, and processing information.  Here are some characteristics of a versatile person:

·        Win/win oriented

·        Adaptable

·        Situational

·        Can express or withhold feelings as appropriate

·        Can talk or listen as needed

·        Values others

·        Negotiable

·        Responsive

·        Resilient

·        Considerate (McNally, 1998, p. 170)."
