Fish where the fish are.

The first good start is to know what you need. From whom? Then go looking for places where you might find it.

If you find that effortlessly, understand you probably encountered secondary and tertiary locations. You will get what you need but be prepared for a lot of noise. 

If you are patient and look further, you will spot a chain that takes you deeper. Tracing the chain is attractive though you might face uncertainty along it. The fear will grip you.

You might face a dilemma. Is it worth looking for something on an endless, futile journey for something that is just around the corner? Fair to think like that.

The source of what you need might be invisible at first. However, it always exists, provided you persist.

Getting to it is hard work. Often, you need to bind pieces of evidence together to search for it. Interactions, communication, interpretations, and conclusions all play vital roles. When you do a decent job of piecing pieces of evidence together, you will gain access to the place of abundance; direct source. Likely, it is the place you were looking for.

The place of the source tells an unadulterated story about how it came about. It will likely provide you clues for how to get what you need.

Sources are original, vibrant, and built after an arduous journey involving true and false, good and bad, right and wrong, first and last, preferred and ignored.

Strive to get to the source. You will find a match for your need surrounded by abundance present.

No matter what you are up to. Take what you need from the stream. Offer what you have directly there. The source is where the meaningful handshakes take place.

So, Fish where the Fish are!

Checks and balances!

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.

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.

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, ...
