==== As a sensor you shall act ====

''“Be the change you want to see in the world”'' - Gandhi

Wait, we just covered that part… Why do we need to talk about it again?

The reason is simple: it is the most critical attitude that will make our organization thrive. It is the glue that will ensure we are moving forward every single day.

Now, one interesting thing about “acting as a sensor” is that its principles go against the "natural" culture that we can often notice here in Vietnam. Yes, it is a blunt statement. Most people don’t want to be seen as troublemaker. They will prefer to avoid addressing a sensitive point rather than taking it as a chance to improve the organization.

If you tend to complain about things without taking action, don’t even think about working at Officience. It is the most unproductive attitude: it creates bad feelings, not only for you but for everyone around you.

So, how to act as a sensor? “Be the change you want to see at Officience”.

Keep that motto in mind, and everything will be fine.

'''''No complaining'''''

Complaining is not productive. It creates bad feelings. So how to turn a complaint into a positive action?

Two solutions:

- If you start complaining about something, stop and think: “What can I do to address that?”

- If you hear someone complain about something, tell him/her: “Ok, enough complaining! What can you do to change that?”

Sharing bad feelings is natural. We all do this. The trick is to be aware when you (or someone around you) start doing it, and turning it into ''an opportunity to change things''.

What kind of concerns should you share? As soon as it becomes too hard to keep for yourself, share it. By practicing it, you will notice that the question is less WHAT to share, and more HOW to share it. We all have things that annoy us on a daily basis. What we need to learn is how to make the most of these small annoying things.

You may think that constantly sharing concerns and annoying things makes for a very stressful working environment. It doesn’t. Sharing (and more important, ''solving'') these small daily issues is what makes Officience a better place to work day after day.
