Being a change agent means actively working to improve things rather than following the status quo. It starts with recognizing areas that could be improved and having the courage to take action. Change agents often inspire others by modeling creativity, persistence, and a willingness to try new things. They create growth opportunities, not only for themselves but also for those around them, by introducing new ideas, offering support, and encouraging collaboration. Their mindset helps promote a culture of innovation, where learning from failure and exploring better ways of doing things becomes the norm.
