Wandering explorers are for only some!

By Bamboo In The Wind

Explorations, by all means, are revealing. They make you, as an explorer, learn things. But random quests can show a need for more interest and willingness to chase depth. 

Because of internal chaos, explorations turn out to be self-pleasing acts of frequently changing involvement to overcome distractions. 

Such acts in no way ignite you, let alone others! They are simply acts of creating busyness to hide behind the curtain of trying to learn for self.

Explorations that lead to development, however, take a different route. You still explore to learn but find a way to disseminate your learning. 

For no purpose, you recite your learnings. Others may overhear your recitals and find a meaning for themselves in them. In social media, an explorer in you might make others hear your musing. 

Often that turns out temporary; the critical question is, will they sustain with your spiel long enough and continue to find meaning in what you recite? 

That depends on whether you are generating the dialogue and whether others can get past the fences of anonymity you created and be around you.

Open up the inbox; let others get to you; be in common areas; share something worthwhile publicly; learn at coffee stations; offer your counsel; share your experiences; And ask everyone you meet to join your explorations.

Let others find a way, get behind something interesting, and embark on exhilarating unknowns. Just be around and let chaotic explorations settle down.

The explorations are interesting. Yet, wandering explorers are only for some!

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...
