Care and involvement

By Bamboo In The Wind

Care is an important aspect of how we feel about what we do. Caring about something reflects the involvement in action in front of us. Involvement is often an indication of owing the task at hand. At a subconscious level, we have full acceptance of what we want to do and exactly how we need to go about it. 

Involvement also means that we know the owned task has beneficiaries who will get positively or negatively influenced by what we do. This understanding generates attention to minimizing the pitfalls of our actions. Such attention means caring about something.

Care means involvement which generates attention and helps generate an outcome that people are likely to be supportive of, they see that it is something that is wanted.

Repeated care has the power of generating the feeling of want from those who benefit. Followership of someone's work, behavior, and teaching are dependent on the care embedded in how that is done.

At work, the subject matter knowledge someone possesses rarely creates a delight. It's the care that creates the value of special association that comes with the subject matter. Such association has the power of building a brand. Brand steps from the consistency of care demonstrated by the organization. When Having knowledge is one thing, knowing how to impart that knowledge with care is yet another!

And knowing when someone cares about any cause is at the root of developing healthy contributions and lasting associations. In every aspect of our life.

Choking the communication channel.

By Bamboo In The Wind
There are instances where everything looks in order. Structures are rightly in place. Right roles are defined. Responsibilities are distributed. Bi-directional open communication is expected to take place. And with that, collective work is expected to turn out productive. Yet, when the action begins, everything breaks apart. Productivity dwindles, cooperation is missing, and ad-hoc interactions are common-place That creates chaos. No one appears in charge even though there is someone responsible. It clearly is a sign of broken communication channels. A well-orchestrated workplace focuses on methods to communicate grounds-up and top-down. It encourages patient listening, internalizing and responding rather than reacting. All effective open communication channels are a result of making such communication possible. Often, the structures are set such that you centralize communication of every bit of your activity to someone in the hierarchy. Over time it turns into a permission-based inter...

Top up.

By Bamboo In The Wind
An effort of any kind will stop without a top-up mechanism. The cooking range doesn't work without gas. When petrol runs out, vehicles don't work. In the absence of solar panels, green energy is just a dream. Such issues apply to us humans too. Our ability to work hampers seriously if we don't have an energy replenishment plan. We think we enjoy the most when we do work involving our passions. We think tirelessly doing the same activity will keep our enthusiasm. Like writer's block, there comes a day when our ideas don't work. Monotony dries up the fun. What used to be the reason to be at work feels like the most dreaded place. When we encounter such a situation, it's time to check if our energy tank is emptying out fast enough that we need to land to refuel. Top up is a vital periodic part that recharges us. Different activities, places or people might refuel us with new energy and ideas. But first, be open to knowing you will run out of fuel. Sooner or later, ...

Checks and balances!

By Bamboo In The Wind
Defining a good purpose, setting a target goal and getting people working on them is usually not enough! There are too many aspects involved in getting the results we want. For example, there is an aspect of painting the big picture, working on motivation management, productivity tracking, building experimentation labs, and erecting resilient systems that systematize the workflows. Just putting bodies to work and defining milestones rarely achieves the right results. The other aspects that help march towards the milestones in an orderly manner, they are equally important. At the very least, they make objectives widely understandable and results more attainable. The job of a thought leader is to enable progress and enable recovery. Therefore, it is never enough to have just ideas. Those with ideas also have the responsibility to assemble the work environment in such a way as to create situations containing the energy disperses. Energy dispersal from lack of clarity, loss of motivation, ...
