The Recipe!

The recipe is at the crux of a good meal!

While you know there is a need to cater to, the method of making the end combination and the method to serve delivers the experience.

There are numerous examples of services that provided delight right after they were served on a platter.

Take, for example, Whatsapp. The app is simple, intuitive, and lets you fulfill your hunger for group and private communications rather effortlessly. Users adore the app. They don't hesitate to share the most important happening of their life via it. The app turns into a preferred method to connect and share. Over time, it goes viral globally.

Or take another example of a natural vegetable juice maker by the street side in a city. In the wee hours of the morning, she delivers combinations of healthy mixes. In the process, she develops incredible connections beyond her product transactions. It's because the buyers get fulfillment from the story behind her product. No matter the season or the weather. She is there for them with personalized combination recipes tirelessly. Over time, the buyer feels proud of being associated with the makers' journey. The maker goes viral locally.

Virality is an after-effect of offering a believable recipe that planted itself in your daily need. A result of spotting the unfulfilled part of the routine and assembling a combination thoughtfully as you would for daily food and drink needs.

Recipes make actions predictable, demand quality participation from those actions, and address the exact needs of those for whom the action is created.

Every delightful experience is a result of a rightly conceived and well-orchestrated recipe. 

In fast-changing environments, there is ever increasing focus on adaptive recipes that serve the test of time.

Chefs - the recipe creators - spontaneous original thinkers, are the need of the time.

The recipes are merely Chef's ideas!

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, ...

The hyacinth at the surface - nectar - just beneath!

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...

Liked? Or Respected?

It is easy to bend backwards and accomodate others. When you do so, it is obvious to generate affection that leads to you being likeable. You tend to be always available, seek others' attention more that what your needs are for yourself, or do things to transactionally connect with others. As long as you continue doing what others prefer, you are sure to be liked! And who does not like to liked like that! People pleasing acts have huge downsides. It is different when you set boundaries, take a principled stand about when do you indulge with collaborative activity involving others and when you focus on your priorities. Principles drive energies, brings rigor and sets responsibilities. It is governed with consistency and you come across that uniform, thought and consistent in any and every situation as against preferential. Obviously, principled person is hard to pierce into. When you do, you will discover rythem of clear communication, prioritisation, importance of building long-ter...
