Loops and closures!

By Bamboo In The Wind

We do not realize the need for building communication loops.

Creating those involves tieing the two ends of the channel.

Tieing up circumstances, work tasks, and our thoughts into an understandable perspective so recipients respond with care. It reflects a complete formation that keeps the interests of both ends in mind. The absence of loops creates a void. 

Why are the loops critical? 

Loops are critical because they have the potential to provide a meaningful context. The absence of context, circumstances, tasks or even our thoughts does not make sense. We tend to apply a skewed lens when illusionary context prevails. The ultimate impact is flawed and biased decision-making.

Is there a value in building habits for building those? 

Evidence suggests there is a value in building habits of building communication loops.

We may not recognize that most gaps visible in relationships and commitments are a result of incomplete context. 

An incomplete context makes us access the windows in front of us.

It only develops the perception of reality. Context can only build when we access all possible windows and doors to construct a realistic picture of what we see. Or at least at close a picture of reality as possible. Constructing a picture is actually a part of creating the loops.

Building loops develop context. Context beefs up decision-making. Decisive actions bring closures in a way others understand and respond with care.

First, start with a mind map of who needs to be in the critical path of the communication loop and why.

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, ...

Liked? Or Respected?

By Bamboo In The Wind
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...

Own it!

By Bamboo In The Wind
Owning is an act of proactive work.  You own through willingness and willingness emerges as a result of feeling the sense of belonging. Initiative helps define baby steps that gives you access to responsibility. Responsibility allows you to take actions that give you the power to influence but never control the outcomes. However, this act of taking baby steps eventually lets us be owners - of our own decisions. Owning vital responsibility usually results in desired results and happiness for yourselves or owning responsibility can sometimes mean taking an arduous endless path to make those around you happy. The best you can do is to own your decisions and accept the outcomes you get.
