I like this from the Defense Entrepreneurs Forum

“Agile learners are motivated, and look for opportunities for self-development in order to prepare for the challenges they may face in the future. Later, when they are in challenging, complex, ambiguous situations leaders that are agile learners are able to rapidly apply what they have learned from their self- development. They quickly try new approaches, learning from the consequences, and taking action to continue on and continue learning from the experience.”
