Cognitive flexibility

Soft Skills and Communication

Cognitive flexibility is the mental ability to switch between thinking about different concepts, adapt behavior in response to changing rules or environments, and consider multiple perspectives simultaneously. It is a core executive function studied in psychology and neuroscience, important for problem-solving, learning, and adapting to unexpected situations at work or in life. People with strong cognitive flexibility can pivot strategies quickly and handle ambiguity or multitasking more effectively.
