I like to feel that I approach challenges and problems calmly and in a cohesive manner.
This is the same approach that I take whether it’s inside the commercial Heating & Air Conditioning of the office or at condo with my family.
I appreciate to be the sort who looks for proper ground and commons sense when finding solutions. This is consistently where I start and I make sure that all stakeholders are involved. But just like inside the zone controlled Heating & Air Conditioning of the office, I sporadically have to take matters into my own hands at condo as well. I consistently like to try the collective approach with discussion, clear goals and accountability. However, there are times where that approach can be ineffective due to those involved trying to take fortune of that approach. So that requires me to do stuff that I hate to do which is unilaterally make decisions to solve the problem. This was actually the case with the way the Heating & Air Conditioning unit was being used in my home. I have consistently tried to teach my children that while they are actually lucky to have the life they have, they are not entitled. But the way they were jerking the thermostat around to accommodate their whims was unreasonable. Of course, I tried the rational approach for months. But over and over again, I was disappointed to see the same behavior was taking site. So finally, I had the Heating & Air Conditioning supplier install a smart thermostat. With the smart thermostat I can put it in a mode that denies access to anyone else but me when it comes to changing the thermostat. Heating & Air Conditioning unit abuse problem is now solved.
