Who will they hire!

By Bamboo In The Wind

In industrial org structures, growth has been permission driven. It tended to be a function of how your bosses saw you and judged your potential. Of course, selfless superiors could hop over their insecurities, spot you, and give you a real chance. And getting an opportunity to present your work was an achievement in itself.

If you ran into superiors who were entangled in their own insecurities... then well, good luck...! You can be sure that they will shred your work into pieces, look for signs in you that please them. Your opportunities depended on how they saw you given their own insecurities.

You rarely had the skill to understand the psyche of your superiors lest know they had any misgivings. But they always did. And you. You were stumped by their decision to use you or not.

Thankfully in the new age economy, that is not true anymore. You are attractive to everyone if you are interested. Interested and experienced in something you can catch others' attention on. If you have done worthwhile work and garnered attention for it from a bunch on your own, that is a solid start. They expect you to have a demonstrable You where you hardly say something. 

They adore you if you are seen out there with all your resourcefulness, integrity, connections, and problem-solving acumen. It does not matter what skill they need. Before that, they need Your kind!

If you have any body of work, you have got an agency. The control is with you to choose what you involve yourselves in.

Your kind is in demand! Sure. But first, are you doing anything worthwhile. When no one is watching. We want to know you!

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 commonplace. 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 bottom-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...

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, ...
