== Do you think someone (Vietnamese) in Officience, enough understanding your idea? I ask this question this most of theory/ideas coming from Western were misunderstand or apply a half in Vietnam history. Suppose that you had good ideas, but who can apply it completely or correctly. Sorry I’d like to say you are not Vietnamese, different Vietnamese’s view from Vietnam communist’s society, and different belief too.== | ==== Do you think someone (Vietnamese) in Officience, enough understanding your idea?

Saying “listen to your heart and be responsible for it” seems to be an approach that respects much more the local culture. | Saying “listen to your heart and be responsible for it” seems to be an approach that respects much more the local culture. | ||
== Thousands of human histories showed that every society needs a leader who are most responsible and appropriate. The leader will lead this society to overcome natural disasters, enemies, maybe everyone is happy/unhappy to follow his idea. This is basic structure of societies/companies using with different style and improvement. Without the leader/management, those societies are messy, divided into many smaller groups with different targets, and go to different ways because there is no great decision made by great leaders at very important time. So my question: How do you apply non-manager/leader in Officience that prevents these disadvantages? == | ==== Thousands of human histories showed that every society needs a leader who are most responsible and appropriate.

'''Duc :''' We do have leaders of course ! I totally agree with you that we need leaders and I was first in shock that you write we have non-leader in Officience. But then I realize it seems you merge manager and leader as one single and same thing. It’s different.<BR> | '''Duc :''' We do have leaders of course !

Think of it like a Karate federation : people with 20+ followers are like the black belts. If you're a newcomer you will show respect to ALL the black belts you encounter. However, you can freely pick one and decide “This guy is my Master, I will follow his path”. | Think of it like a Karate federation : people with 20+ followers are like the black belts.

==How can you see and prevent BAD PEOPLE do the BAD THINGS in your company? It is quite hard to say that Vietnamese does a lot of cheating, very short-term thinking. For example, they go to Officience but spending time to work for other companies/their projects. They take advantage of Officience resource to do their personal purpose? Even they take out Officience clients.== | ====How can you see and prevent BAD PEOPLE do the BAD THINGS in your company?

'''Duc :''' Who am I to judge what is good or bad ? Difficult question.

And I have a Hangout called "AskMe Anything" where I also take advice from the first line involved people : all Offies ! I’ll make sure you are in. This being said in this Hangout few people have enough courage to raise difficult questions like you do. I think also many people underestimate either themselves or the importance of this Hangout. Anyway, we have the place to take advice in place, the question now is how can we improve participation ? | And I have a Hangout called "AskMe Anything" where I also take advice from the first line involved people : all Offies !

==I ask this because no one ask reasonable question about U2Guide, for instance is a good project, any risk, who make decision whether we take it or reject. Does this project affect long-term resource planning?<BR>== | ====I ask this because no one ask reasonable question about U2Guide, for instance is a good project, any risk, who make decision whether we take it or reject.

'''Duc :''' How to define good or bad ? I think U2 Guide is good because their project is to develop responsible tourism practice, they give back a portion of their revenue to local NGOs. I know Paul since more than 1 year, he is coworking with us at Officaire our French office. When he reached out to us he was in trouble and needed help. I think he deserves our help. I know there are risks that their fail their project, like it is the case for 99% of startups. They keep me updated transparently on their actions and developments to save their project. | '''Duc :''' How to define good or bad ?

Today, our cash situation is a bit tense but it’s not a profitability problem, it’s because several customers (EWM 100k, Auchan 60k, Ineo 50k - Orange was 40k but paid now) are paying late. As a comparison, one month of payroll is 80k.<BR> | Today, our cash situation is a bit tense but it’s not a profitability problem, it’s because several customers (EWM 100k, Auchan 60k, Ineo 50k - Orange was 40k but paid now) are paying late.

==I write the message to you because if there is no action to resolve these problems completely, one day you will lose your company. No money to make payment for your employees is enough evidence to re-think about Officience. If the company doesn’t pay 2 months’ salary, you company will be bankrupt. More than 10 years to build network, reputation is completely useless. However, the most important is you cannot know CAUSE/and how to resolve.== | ====I write the message to you because if there is no action to resolve these problems completely, one day you will lose your company.

I am not afraid of Officience being bankrupt, I am not afraid of loosing my company, because I don't feel it is MY own company. I feel it is OUR project. I am afraid of Vietnam being colonized again, stuck as a low-cost country depending on other high-tech countries to survive. We are lacking cash now but it’s a lesson we are growing from. Going forward our engagers will be more strict on payment terms. Hopefully once these customers above pay their dues, it will be less of a problem anyway. Well, we’ll have to discuss how much cash we want to keep as minimum security, how much we want to put into laptops, into finishing the interior design (chairs and co-working space), how much we want to invest into internal projects such as Dinh, R&D, financial controller, how much we want to invest in external startups. Traveling to France… many ideas ! | I am not afraid of Officience being bankrupt, I am not afraid of loosing my company, because I don't feel it is MY own company. I feel it is OUR project.

I am eager to re-think about Officience, about how we can better help the 5 Causes to develop. Do you want to discuss that with me ? | I am eager to re-think about Officience, about how we can better help the 5 Causes to develop. Do you want to discuss that with me ? | ||
