The gradual emergence of progress!

By Bamboo In The Wind
The rush to see the progress takes learning to take small, incremental steps. We need to know how to take steps to comprehend what does not work.

A few ways to know that things are not working and what to do about them require internalizing their reasons.

1. We are still determining whether the path will lead to a dead end.

Remedy: Learn patterns of thinking and follow on steps yield poor outcomes.

2. We are hesitant about whether we are taking the ethically correct steps that coincide with our values.

Remedy: Our value system is a source of long-term satisfaction and happiness. Learn if the belief system can be modernized with new information and experiences without shaking the core foundations.

3. We fear the adverse judgment of us if we run into failures.

Remedy: Understand the difference between constructive opinions and sweeping, stalling judgments about our actions.

4. We know we will be adjudged to require no help, and it might feel like a lonely battle.

Remedy: Learn to build alliances apriori. Share what you do, seek feedback, collect inputs, involve others, and share it went proactively.

Progress emerges slowly and steadily. We must keep the ball ticking. The progress begins to rise as a result!

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.

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.
