Influenced by primary research with global workers and participation in agile methods across the software and marketing professions, I define the agile career. 

An agile career is a self reflective, incremental career path, guided by response to change, evolving job roles, and designed to optimize creativity, growth, and happiness. —Marti Konstant

Sounds appealing, doesn’t it? We all strive for growth and happiness in our life’s work. But reaching the potential of an agile career requires us to redefine our very understanding of a “career” and the role we play within it.

When studying career agility, I observed the shared traits of the nimble employee and flexible entrepreneur. These self-directed individuals operate in multiple lanes, not single lane careers. They show an uncanny ability to adapt to setbacks and uncertainty. They are, like synonyms of “agile,” buoyant, energetic, limber, lively, quick, rapid, and sharp.
