Resourcefulness

Resourcefulness: Ingenuity and skill in dealing with new, unexpected situations

Using creativity & innovation + seeing opportunities in unexpected situations = resourcefulness

RESOURCEFULNESS REQUIRES:

• CONFIDENCE: Resourceful people believe they have what is necessary to solve problems. The first step is to realize that you are competent and equipped to handle the situation.
• OPEN-MINDEDNESS: Resourcefulness requires being open to new ideas and possibilities. A person who looks at all aspects of a situation can find value and opportunity where others see problems.
• PROACTIVE PERSISTENCE: Resourceful people do not sit and wait for things to happen. They look for new approaches and persistently pursue the options until they find a solution.

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” – Arthur Ashe
