Producers!

By Bamboo In The Wind

It's easier to blame the tools when we can't get something done. 

Producers know what they have got and understand their limitations and find the best way out of everything they encounter.

In the face of difficulty, they alter their assumptions about the situation and continue the quest to find the way out until they land on something of common, broader interest. 

It's easier for us to think of embarking in isolation; nothing wrong with it, but having company in our journeys requires keeping doors open. When we do, we might encounter something of more profound interest if we can deal with distractions. Because doing so gives us glimpses of changing winds and fresh air. It is no surprise, then, that we get traction on something that amplifies our central beliefs, albeit the manifestation of it is mildly altered from the core. And we should be okay with that. 

The biggest obstacle for us is adjusting to our own willingness to change! Being open to the idea that we can change our minds. It's scary to be on a footing we are not accustomed to.

When we think that we are at a deadlock, we tend to think of myriad other things we can take up. Give up what we are on to. And that's fair. The best way out of that is to think about how to lead from what we have on our plates now to all those things that we want to take up newly. While maintaining the continuum.

That forms a starting point for someone else. The ones with a similar quest. They get to be on a platform of common interest and continue their experimentation. That enables them to use ready work and go on their own until they can build another valuable platform for a new fork of exploration. That reflects evolution! 

But initiative develops the starting foundation. Something reusable for secondary consumers! That is solid work.

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.
