Made a wrong choice. Now what?

By Bamboo In The Wind

The wrong choice reflects the commitment to a cause that is your primary preference. You make choices based on sentiments, available data, circumstantial interpretation, and your understanding of what the future holds with the choice made.

There is every chance that the choice made turns out unsatisfactory. Some preferences introduce difficulties and rough experiences. It looks like the end of the road, a thoughtless act and an irresponsible binding decision that you must live by.

An emotional response like this represents your bias. It mainly stems from set beliefs of what is the norm. Norms are inferred from the ecosystems you belong to.

Norms are statistical affirmations of what is right or wrong. They have extrapolated views of sporadic events turned into a continuum of belief systems that describes it be a reality.

Such norms drive your behavior. Make-believe tells you that a wrong choice is detrimental, and you are stuck with it for a long time.

Your job is the challenge, make-believe, and breaks the norm. 

The wrong choice is a decision made at a specific point under a particular circumstance. If it bothers you, you have a right to change it.

Change decisions such that  it stablizes your response in favor of what you are up to!

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...

Unentangle.

By Bamboo In The Wind
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...
