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!

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...
