Resourceful Influencing

Courtesy: Carson Tate

To make workplace an inspiring place, the leader is as much responsible as the team members.

Proactive team members are called ‘Resourceful Influencers’.

There are ways it can be done.

Emphasize inclusion.

People who are close by are visible, and hence approachable. Those who are remotely placed, are visible over zoom.

Approachable too, provided you make an effort to reciprocate.

Support asynchronous work.

Record team meetings and share.

But share bullet points along with that. So that even if somebody doesn’t have time to play the record, also knows the gist.

This shows that you care, being the leader.

Encourage your team members to be their own internal PR agents.

Have 10 minutes Tea-kickstart-break

Talk to each other till the first tea lasts.

You can extend for the second tea-cup as well. But not advisable, as this is expected to be brief and crisp.

Co-create work execution norms.

Gather everybody to decide the following:

Eliminate ambiguity and ensure accountability.

Your team cannot be effective if there are ambiguous expectations and insufficient accountability.

Start a 20-minute Monday huddle.

Ensure goals and timelines are clear.

Drive accountability.

One person can the accountable.

He should have the authority to take decision, engage and be engaged.

It can be on rotation basis

All these efforts will lead to co-creation of  a culture with your employees to retain top talent, or lose key employees to companies who are reimagining the workplace to ensure that both your employees and your business thrive.

Despite bitter workplace environment at times, when people thought me to be too independent and have my ways always, I observed one important thing.

That is the trick to my evergreen happiness.

That also gave a lot of time to indulge in my pass-times and hobbies as well.

And kept me healthy.

Of course, I need to workout regularly to be fit. 😜😜😜

I am happier all the time, since I last discovered this trick.

I make sure that I find time to help at least one person at the workplace who is nearing a deadline and needs help. I keep myself around that person to help him reach the deadline.

Make it possible in time. 🎈🎈

I read as much as possible, I discuss without being intrusive, I observe without making the other person conscious.

Maintain high standards being interested. 🎈🎈

I have the great fortune of being surrounded by colleagues who are interested in what I am doing. They spare time to learn what I am indulged in. I teach them.

Manage time by delegating, which my colleagues volunteer to undertake. 🎈🎈

The other day I helped a friend with side sketches for his book. I am not an artist. I love neat lines with colours and angles. That’s it. It appeared poetic to realistic stories.

Musings about life lessons, without any utterances 🎈🎈

I love doing what I do. What I do is not with an intention of achieving the end result. I love watching me and my colleagues reaching one stage to another.

Milestones as a result of the process.  🎈🎈

Mindfulness is a journey. It is living with the higher potential as much time as possible. Bliss is the nearest expression of the state one can achieve and dwell in the highest vibration.

To compel the Universe to collaborate

The morning is full of mystery if you wake up during 3 am – 5 am.

Robin Sharma is a leadership guru whose passion is helping others live more productive lives.

He has written a book called “The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning. Elevate Your Life”.

It is a fictitious story about a billionaire mentor teaching a struggling artist and an entrepreneur about the importance of 1/4 waking up early to show how revolutionary it is for success.

The learnable habits are as follows:

· Waking up at 5 a.m. will provide you with the solitude and improved brain state to perform like the pros.

· Balance your four “interior empires” to achieve self-mastery.

· Don’t waste time when you wake up early, use the 20/20/20 formula.

XXX

All said and done, how easy it is to wake up at 5 am ?😆😆😆

This has been deliberated by Brayen Ye

🌟 Clarify Your Purpose for Waking Up Early. ...

🎨 who you will become?

A 58 kilo warrior!!

A deeply meditative person!!

💪 Understand What You Gain and Lose. ...

🎨 What you lose?

Early morning sleep

Unnecessary worry about waking up

👕 What you gain?

You will manifest faster

You will get a lot of time during the day.

You can sleep by 9 pm.

😴 Focus on Sleeping Time. ...

Its easy.. think of writing something new.

The brain will go into deep sleep

🌳 Don't Try to Change Everything. ...

It will not happen in a day. Or can happen also. Why be so serious?

🌅 Choose a Morning Routine. ...

Go run a kilometre. Come back do the Sudarsan kriya.

OM chanting and journaling. Write what you wanted to write for the day or about the day.

⏰ Get an Alarm That Works for You. ... Train the body alacrity.

📵 Sleep Without Your Phone. ...

No phone, its easy

💊 Use Melatonin as Insurance. At 9 pm as soon as the brain secretes it, go surrender and sleep

Surrendering an empathetic higher soul is easy. Start with that

Passion is the difference between playing the piano and being a pianist.

“Passion is the genesis of genius.” – Galileo

Your personal best will be about you and no one else.

Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.

I was putting all the above at one place to give myself some gyan.

For my clients.

When they start, they describe the issues which are quite contradictory.

Like being strong in English to have invited trouble with European clients to weak in English when they have to reply a mail, and hence delaying the reply.

That ultimately breaks the communication.

In majority of the cases, their entire problem is focussed around broken communication. 🍟🍟

Okay!

Now, the next question.

If you are hard-working, do you love what you do?

Passionate people are obsessed, optimistic, don’t waste time and are risk-takers.

If you love what you do, then you are going endlessly about it.

Any amount of work you do, you will still feel you can do more.  🍟🍟

Would you bother if your endless work does not get appreciated?

Does it not happen when you are yet to get a result?

Your small victories are yours. INVISIBLE to the rest of the world.

Do you care?

You may not share your feels because you are ‘Reserved’ or ‘Intense’.

Everybody can feel that even if they don’t say it.

You know that they know, even if you know the ‘Aha’ moment hasn’t yet come for you.

You will share if you are ‘Outgoing’ or ‘bubbly’.

𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴, 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 ‘𝘌𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦’.

For yet another time.

You can, because you will keep doing, no matter what.

Why bother? 🍟🍟

If you are Passionate, it takes less for you to get excited, so you get excited more frequently and stay excited longer.

Submit to a mentor.

Be dominant with your passion. Work-life balance is something not in your agenda.

You might be serious, or may be a ‘Happy go lucky’.

I haven’t seen somebody ruining your passion in their valid sense.

Therefore, you submit to people who are helpful.

You can bring on the hidden passion in anybody with coaxing and cajoling.

That may make you ‘dominant’.

Fair enough. 🍟🍟🍟

Being 100% perfect makes the going slow. I do not think passionate people are ‘perfectionist’.

They need new ideas to flow in as much as possible and in a constant flux.

Nothing can be a ‘perfect’ thing as any point of time whichever has ‘potential’.

Therefore, passionate people are tough minded when change happens due to a new idea.

They are ‘’sensitive’ when it comes to a standstill.

Sometimes it happens.

Being shrewd to manipulate human interference 🤔🤔🤔🤔`

or

Being imaginative to include expertise in some way or the other.

Is a strategy to choose either-or from. 🍟🍟🍟

If you know who you are, and your ‘context’, it is the ‘Passion’ which is always a winner despite the traits that you might be displaying.

Does that give you less to worry about from now on?

As I reached Puri, the pilgrimage place in Odisha, famous for Lord Jagannath and the Car festival, I had goose bumps. Time for being face to face physically, with an intimate friend..

Since He is synonymous with Lord Krishna, we have a whole epic dedicated to him, about his human dwelling.

As I write this, be mindful that I am praying as a devotee as well. But I feel I am being pampered by Him, all the time. I am named by him as “Bhagabati”.

𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦.

Few things which I gave Him as the deliverables was getting all the projects wherein I can impact a greater world, all wealth that can be invested in creating multiple opportunities, win me all that I set eyes on and .. …

Many more

I didn’t write beyond 4 items, lest He gets confused.

After all, He needs clarity within me, to be able to get going. For Him, everything is the same. But not for me. A win is a win, and thas it.

He thinks that He can somehow do me better with a setback. Aha, I take none of that bullshit. So He needs to work further to set me fly.

𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐭..

He seems to have surrendered to my wishes at my highest potential. I hardly understand how it can be ‘not’’ His wishes too.

He, as  Lord Krishna, lent a ear to anyone who wanted to talk to him --- whether it was Arjun who did not want a war or even the Kauravas -- who just wanted victory --- however, in the end he did what he felt was right.

He can not have a different wish then what I have. I love him.

He is a servant to whoever loves Him, and hence I dismiss all the distance between Him and me. It helps to be free and flexible no matter whatever is the situation.

𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞.

I do not know what I would have done if I wouldn’t have this blessing.

But having this blessing saves me from a lot of dilemma.  Having said so, I also have spent sufficient time in getting to where I ultimately belong. That is my Dharma or duty.

I have been methodical, well-planned and hard working. Perhaps, I wasn’t spending time strategizing.

Plan ABC.

For the Mahabharata war, Krishna planned ahead. He knew that the Kauravas would leave no stone un turned to win the war and so he made a point to note all their tactics and moves. In the corporate world too, one should always be prepared.

And the process is so invigorating that I do not care if the end result does not go in my favour for few times.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna tells Arjuna that one should remain detached from Maya, so that one can fight clean in all areas of your life. Similarly, at the workplace too, one should not get emotionally involved with anyone, lest his work suffers.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭

I feel the blind support which I call as my “Vortex”, it is bliss.

I get there with lot of perseverance from my side, without an excuse.

Krishna never wallows in self-pity. If something goes wrong, he makes sure to fix it before it gets too late.

Mistakes are to be corrected as soon as possible.

Me winning will be great for the societies. And I know He will be partial towards me.

I lead, and it’s a aha moment for me.

Krishna was all who was acting. Yet he was not the front line warrior.

I call the toss. And He smiles.

I really wanted to help Sonu, my protagonist!

She has a pure heart, but horrible in communication.

As many of us, she has friction with her boss.  She can go endlessly finding his faults.  One major complaint she has, is that the boss, let us call him ‘B’,    does not stand by her when she most needs him.

If she is very capable, handling her work, why does she need his support?

“Because the client has started troubling”, she said.

Oh!   But the client used to be very appreciative till last month.

Yes.   But after that, she had few alterations in the deliverables, and two columns added to the list, and her junior colleagues did not see in the notifications, and only did that much she had told them to do.

But how can the juniors take a decision, all by themselves?

That error was noticed by the client.   And there was a thorough checking of the spreadsheet by the client. This spreadsheet was supposed to be a subset of another department with which Sonu works all the time.

To cut the hells loose the client found that Sonu’s spread sheet has no correspondence with the other spreadsheet.

Why such a hazardous thing happened?

Can Sonu immediately bring that to the attention of the other department and resolve it out?

She said she would work that out.     That was 15 days before.

Now the other department wants her to furnish the other details at her disposal, in order to sort out the spreadsheet.

The other detail file was also half done.

She became overstressed because ‘B’ had fixed a probable date without consulting her for a workshop.    She had n’t seen that email even 15 days’ later.

She is blaming B for this.

XXX

I wanted to create a step by step solution for her.

Thankfully she has started reading books.

I have a checklist of action points for her.

Should I ?

She is already stressed so much.  Can she handle the burden of a checklist in addition?

I was angry two days back when she didn’t pay heed when I suggested that she should reply back to ‘B’ with an apology.

She didn’t see the reason.

I had disconnected the phone.    And didn’t speak to her yesterday.

But,

I am the same person as Sonu, if  I wasn’t straightening the communication.

She needs to start towards a solution, from anywhere.

That is all I am giving her.

Not to be overwhelmed.

She is not going to meet any of her deadlines this month, given her situation.

But she will make the beginning.

When I spoke to her today, she was the same complaining self again.

She said she was not able to sleep since last two days.

But as I am writing,  I have been waiting for a good two hours, and I am sure she has slept off.

At least, today she has sleep.

Its not her victories I am counting.

These are my victories.

xxxxxxxxxx

I am reading few books to for the right phrases relevant to her.

I am reading so that she gets a solution which she can execute.

An executable Action plan, for her type.

Law of averages give you the result that you achieve as outcomes.

If you have one phenomenal person in your life, then the affect will come down if the rest 4 are average or below average.

The one reason that comes to my mind is that you being the below average person like to be in the frequency of below average people as well.

You can outgrow them as soon as you are raising in vibration. You do so by expanding your thoughts, which happens when you read a lot.

You Read a lot, means you are spending time with books now. No more company of below average people.  That is one great trick. Now you spend time with the characters of the book. Krishna in Bhagbad Gita, you may be in the company of.

Do you not get transported to their world?

Do you Chant, or do group chanting by some chance?  That is where people participate with high vibration.

We all vibrate at different frequencies at different moments. What is meant here is, people with higher frequencies are the ones who motivate us.

Just keep a watch.  Who today you were with. If with the right people, you wont be long feeling low.

Do keep this fact in mind.

#leadingwithsangeeta #leadtosucceed #everexpandingsangeeta 

Professionally, we get into lot of trouble because we are perceived as undependable. Part of us remains hidden. The 'Other' person is always the problem-person.

My mentor asked me to get dissociated from work obsession to mindfulness.  The shift happens there.  So I have designed a code for tranquility.   When you pause you regulate your environment.

Let me talk about me when I am at version 7.0.

I am a director who earns a crore every day.  My bunglow is on a hilltop at the foothills of Himalayas.  I conduct tranquility retreat every month for a week.  It is reserved for business people who create about a 100 jobs every month.  I travel down to their places when there is a 121 session is booked.    I travel with my private jet and am received with their special staff who are the second line leaders. 

I have created the internet to work at my place.  

I travel to at least one country every 2 months to participate in a brainstorming session that creates a blue print for further growth, social impact and inclusion.   With that I give them methods to practice tranquility.   They become the right hand of the national leader to create freedom for everybody whoever is willing to take action.

I take an orientation session with the bureaucrats to make them understand the obvious gaps.  There is a synergy between bureaucrats and business people. The former are the facilitators and catalysts.  The later manage money movements. That too by being free of stress. Tranquility transcends in their lives too.  

Letting go after a certain stage requires lot of trust and courage. For that they need to be the mentors themselves,  for the future owners to take stage. Who owns what?    There is creation and no competition.  They become 'pause hermits' and 'warrior lions'.   Some of them are 'radiant glitters'. 

Nothing one takes along at death. So it is renunciation right now. 

So it all starts with dissociation from work obsession. That is when mindfulness starts.  It is the beginning of greater creation.

The silent steps of a dream, the logical mind does not yet know the 'how', but the dreamy mind can already sniff it.    

Experiencing that same zone of tranquility right now, when one does not know the 'how' but the mind is experiencing stillness because of faith n conviction.  that was wow..
