Interactions that are remembered!

By Bamboo In The Wind

When you are with others, what you remember is the cordial interactions. This is true when interactions reflect genuine care and concern.

Interactions that directly touch on your well-being, what you do, where you are from, and what your interests and beliefs are, what they can do to help you. All such interactions tend to be fulfilling.

They try to understand you at your core. Not be judgemental. Not trying to look at you superficially. 

The generosity of offering others your attention is a gracious act. It comes from the confidence of having abundance and feeling secure about yourself.

On the flip side? You think if you offer yourself too much, you are getting emptied out to your detriment. The gripping fear that you are deprived of focus, priorities, and the fear of falling behind makes you act stingy.

You think concessions and the money will save you focus and keep you on track. Often it's not what the others really want. It is also not something that you want.

Everyone is just looking to have rich interactions. Interactions are excellent interventions in your productive spells. They help you feel energized. They are focus generators!

If playing a short-term personal game is your priority, it can come back to haunt you. A short-term and immediacy of outlook can turn out to be transactional in the end, although it may not seem like that.

If you ever intend to build some momentum in something that matters to you, it is best to overcome feelings of scarcity and insecurity. You are your best when they are absent. 

Generocity enriches interactions. You have to feel like you have abundant to share. Even when you don't!

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, ...

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...

The hyacinth at the surface - nectar - just beneath!

By Bamboo In The Wind
The envy of comparison is an unconscious, quietly growing emotion, like water hyacinth spreading unnoticed on a pond's surface. It surrounds the nectar of the water, creating the illusion of poison. The water itself, however, is inherently sweet, with the nectar infused deeply within it. But just cast off the tangled trap of those creeping vines, and the water will reveal its true nature—flowing freely, tirelessly, with a sparkling clarity. Water’s existence, its entire journey, is one of cooperation, of giving endlessly with a pure heart.  Even in the face of numerous obstacles and thorns along its path, water remains undeterred—a divine miracle, no doubt, but one forged through relentless effort. Who notices this journey? Who understands it? Water has no respite—it constantly battles friction and wear. "Why is this thorny life my lot?" It may ask, as feelings of resentment, anger, jealousy, hatred, sorrow, and helplessness arise. Just when it seems trapped, its spirit s...
