Fish where the fish are.

The first good start is to know what you need. From whom? Then go looking for places where you might find it.

If you find that effortlessly, understand you probably encountered secondary and tertiary locations. You will get what you need but be prepared for a lot of noise. 

If you are patient and look further, you will spot a chain that takes you deeper. Tracing the chain is attractive though you might face uncertainty along it. The fear will grip you.

You might face a dilemma. Is it worth looking for something on an endless, futile journey for something that is just around the corner? Fair to think like that.

The source of what you need might be invisible at first. However, it always exists, provided you persist.

Getting to it is hard work. Often, you need to bind pieces of evidence together to search for it. Interactions, communication, interpretations, and conclusions all play vital roles. When you do a decent job of piecing pieces of evidence together, you will gain access to the place of abundance; direct source. Likely, it is the place you were looking for.

The place of the source tells an unadulterated story about how it came about. It will likely provide you clues for how to get what you need.

Sources are original, vibrant, and built after an arduous journey involving true and false, good and bad, right and wrong, first and last, preferred and ignored.

Strive to get to the source. You will find a match for your need surrounded by abundance present.

No matter what you are up to. Take what you need from the stream. Offer what you have directly there. The source is where the meaningful handshakes take place.

So, Fish where the Fish are!

Checks and balances!

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.

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...

Unentangle.

Some circumstances warrant protecting your time and effort. Saying no to everything and ruthlessly keeping space becomes your priority. Space that can hold the opportunity to take something that excites you. There are distractions thrown your way. Carrots are dangling in front of you, making you believe that a brighter future lies in following a defined path. They are others' views of the opportunities, not yours. When you are picky about what you want to do - the right way to go is to say no until you can say whole body yes to something that ignites you. Eventually, what you do may work or not. But you made your choice. Some other circumstances warrant a mechanism for creating opportunities. You ought to find ways to use your time and effort to do something worthwhile. Say yes to what comes your way, and keeping up with exploration provides experience. Experience in what among many options to pick from. By knowing what those options involve. When you are open about what you want t...
