		<description>Great post Monique. You framed it well - the key is turning complainers (reactive and counter-productive) to solution-builders (proactive and productive). I particularly like the way you summarized it all when you stated:

&quot;Complaints do happen, but transform complaints into an exchange of solutions to problems, rather than a counterproductive rant&quot;

I wrote on a similar matter in &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://modernservantleader.com/career/whiner-or-winner/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Whiner or Winner&lt;/a&gt;&quot; for anyone that is interested in additional thoughts on the matter. Thank you for sharing Monique.</description>

		<description>Great article Monique. I would agree with you that it is important to identify complaints as an opportunity for improvement.</description>
