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, ...

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.
