Climbing the maze of complexity!

Complexity is a symptom of cramming too much information in the head. There are implicit assumptions that need understanding. There are base concepts used as building blocks that we need to know about.

The complexity begins to dissipate only when we break down the information and find examples that help us understand the complexity. We must have a building block of more minor, easy-to-understand knowledge and results of experiments. When we have that, it becomes the basis of understanding the concept we find complex.

They say biology is an expression of chemistry. How do we know? It appears unfathomable.

Here is an example of establishing a high-level understanding of this statement with specifics.

We know a healthy and balanced diet can keep diseases at bay. Diets enhance (or even degrade physical state. Diseases represent a chemical state (or change) of humans.

Diet offers us needed nutrients such as Proteins, Vitamins, Minerals, and Fibers.

Within the nutrients needed, Proteins are good sources of amino acids. Amino acids have properties that can improve biotic functions and can help in arresting the onset of certain diseases.

Proteins are available in legumes, seeds, grains, and fibers. Seed proteins are more concentrated in quantity and inhibit the degradation of protein quality. Proteins in seeds possess more antibodies and are a more effective part of the diet. Antibodies work to change the chemical state of humans or indicate an improvement and protection mechanism for human health.

It then makes sense that including certain foods, such as seeds, in daily diet benefits health. Seed properties also explain the rise in efforts to find protein alternatives from such natural sources.

Trying to understand or running experiments that cut across the boundaries of different fields can help us break down arguably complex claims into something believable.

Such an approach of negotiating with complexity is the basis for creating vital benefits that are simple to understand, difficult to replicate, and have takers.

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...
