Adapting to learn alternative methodologies can both benefit the business/client and us as Project Managers.
Having experience in various methodologies, I can draw on techniques and a toolkit of complementary methodologies to ensure the smoothest path to completion and addressing any given scenario. Saving Changes...
Successful agile transformation is often good for employee engagement and personal growth (HBR has done a couple of articles on this) so it shouldn't be a concern for most. However, if someone's values or goals are counter to the underlying values or principles of agility then they could feel threatened. For example, someone who enjoys "command & control" may not be happy about the shift to self-organization/management.

The concerns to chage to different approches is the same along the years. 1-understand what the approch is. Agile is not what you can read or hear outside there most of the times. 2-understand the difference between leyers from bottom to top: approach, process model based on approach, life cycle based on process model, method based on life cycle, tool based on method. Nothing new below the sun. Saving Changes...

There is no agile methodology and agile lifecycles are applicable to specific types of projects only. I would agree that an agile mindset needs to be adopted by all stakeholders but the specific delivery approach is tailored to fit the context of a project and sometimes that means waterfall IS the right approach.

The only real concern is staying relevant in a changing world.
This should be your concern whether your organization is agile or traditional. I can't think of any industries where a project manager can have a successful 40-year career using the same basic skills they brought with them when they first entered the workforce.
In fact, as we prepare for 2020, imagine how your workplace differed in 1980. Could a project manager who started 40 years ago still be effective and competitive if they learned nothing new since that time? Saving Changes...
