Garnering attention!

By Bamboo In The Wind

It is a good thing to be able to attract attention! After all, not everyone can get it. Apart from personal charm, you are able to get that only with solid accomplishments that yield from a lot of grunt work.

You get something spectacular, something to stop and take note of,with a lot of invisible hard and intelligent work that we can relate to. 

When your work takes roots it is because you made it applicable to your surroundings. How do you know? They shared their mind, told you what was missing, asked you to change what you have, and provided feedback. When you hear from a few, you can be sure you have the ears of others. And trust is building slowly and steadily. 

Trust builds because of consistent, meaningful, applied engineering of desires and expectations of others through your work. Knowing the desires and expectations of others we are interested in is the holy grail of knowing which problems to solve!

Keeping at it for the core of its creation is often the way to go. You will usually be lured to trying to catch attention faster and peddle what you have, even when you have no takers. You will be ridiculed for not following the norm on every nook and corner of public cross-routes!

Forced attention is transient. It stays as long as goodies and things drive up self-importance.

Garnering attention is a slow, long process involving mattering! Mattering to self, someone, and others who need what we have.

It might be a while before someone asks for you! We must stick our necks out and do what is close to our hearts. As long as we can!

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.
