Creator economy!

By Bamboo In The Wind

Having experience in the tech world is a funny thing. Only the person knows how sincere they were when something is experienced as part of doing work. With the advent of the internet and free content available over the internet, the experience can easily be faked. You can claim to know things and yet have never done any of those very things.

This creates a false impression of a rising knowledge economy that lacks real experience. When was the last time you really did the thing that will mean technology prowess?

Many resumes are thus becoming an ideal way to represent what you think you will have wanted to do and experience. If those resumes were an honest articulation of the projects you have done and what habits you have toyed with then that would be far more valuable than the fake resume that portrays that you know it all.

Resumes are not trusted by those creating those and they are not trusted by those who use them for recruiting good help.

In the creator economy, no one else is a judge of your work. You produce work because you enjoy it, like it, want it, can do it, and others tell you to do it.

What matters in a creator economy is your list of projects and your stories (articulation) of those project experiences.

When one is able to overcome the resistance to starting a project, they have already embarked on the journey of creator economy. You believe your work was genuinely useful to yourself and to others and you leverage that to enhance your interaction, and confidence and to raise possibilities to do more such fulfilling work.

Creator economy believes intangible work you produced, qualities you possess, and the rigor that is demonstrable through the consistency of the work and habit you cultivated that took you on the journey of creation. Creator economy looks for well-rounded responsible creative people to employ and empower. 

The self-sustaining and self-nurturing work environment that is on the rise at present will succeed because of such creators. Such creators are often decisive problem solvers, collaborators, negotiators, and initiators who inspire others through their own contributions.

Who are you? Are you fit for new age creator economy?

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, ...
