Making decisions is a central part ofleadership. Even when a leader uses

a laissez-faire leadership style, the leaderremains responsible for making many deci-sions such as the nature of the goals thatfollowers should pursue and the type ofleadership style that is appropriate for thesituation.

Followers often look to leaders tomake decisions, particularly if they havedifficulty with envisioning the specifictasks that are required to achieve a goal.Because of the importance of decisionmaking to leadership, you should under-stand how to approach decision making.

To make better decisions, you shouldunderstand that decision making is aprocess involving a sequential series ofsteps that are often considered part of thecritical thinking process. These steps are(a) identify the problem, (b) analyze thepossible solutions to the problem, (c) eval-uate which of the possible solutions will bemost effective, and (d) select and imple-ment the solution.

These steps give you a structuredframework to improve the quality of yourdecisions. The first three steps focus oncollecting information that is useful whenmaking a decision. The way leaders asdecision makers collect the informationoften depends on their leadership style andthe situation. For example, the autocraticleader may be comfortable with personallycollecting the information, while a partici-pative leader may be comfortable relyingon the information provided by others.

Identifying a problem requires thatyou understand that a problem exists andcan recognize the root cause of the prob-lem. While it is often easy to recognize thesymptoms of a problem, the actual cause ofthe problem may not be immediatelyapparent. As a result, a good leader careful-ly evaluates the nature of the problembefore considering the possible solutions.

All problems have more than one pos-sible solution. Effective decision makingrequires identifying the range of possiblesolutions that address the root cause of theproblem. The analysis determines the wayeach of the possible solutions will affectthe problem. The analysis should also con-sider the effect of the possible solution on

the processes or systems used by an organ-ization based on the assumption that achange to fix one part of a system maycause a new problem with another part ofthe system.

At the same time, the leader mustremain aware that decisions have a direct

effect on followers when evaluating possi-ble alternatives. After evaluating the possi-ble alternatives, the leader should be ableto determine the solution that is most like-ly to solve the problem without causingnew and unanticipated problems.

The election of Baraka Obama as the44th President of the United States in

November 2008 was one of the most sig-nificant achievements for the AfricanAmerican community, as one of their ownwas for the first time leading the worldmost powerful country.

Most people were resolute that it wasimpossible for a ‘black man to be presi-dent,’ as decades after the abolition ofslavery in 1865, under the RepublicanPresident Abraham Lincoln, AfricanAmericas continue to face injustice,racism and other forms of human rightsviolations.

Nonetheless, American political lead-ers continued to be very tolerant and sup-portive of black people to the extent thatthe Democratic Party, initially against theabolition of slavery, is now the lead advo-

cate of the black civil rights movement. We would agree that under the US

affirmative action, various governmentpolicies have contributed to increasing theproportion of African-Americans, womenand other minorities in jobs and educa-tional institutions historically dominatedby white men.

Therefore, politically, the appropriatelaws and policies are in place to protectblack people.

Although very few blacks are listedin the Forbes top hundred US billionaireschart, an increasing number of AfricanAmericans are experiencing increaseprosperity and enjoying the Americandream.

However, it is still not an easy roadfor most African Americans, as they con-tinue to comprise the largest number of

people living below the federal povertylevel and occupy 70% of the US prisonpopulation.

Take for example in New York City,the cops always profile and target blackpeople in their crime fighting efforts.African American owned and operatedbusinesses including restaurants, clubsand bars are heavily fined and some,forced into permanent closure for flimsyreasons.

We cannot be too excited about theachievements and successes of a fewblacks and ignore the barefaced discrimi-nation that the vast majorities encounteras they seek to live a normal life.

As we celebrate February as Blackhistory month, we should therefore reflecton our achievements, while safeguardingour rights and freedom.

Barrack Obama

Kingston, Jamaica

There was another development inWashington DC on Thursday in the fast-

paced drive to reform prohibitions againstthe possession and use of marijuana.Eighteen members of Congress wrote a let-ter to President Barrack Obama, urging himto reclassify marijuana (cannabis), known inJamaica as ganja, currently listed in thesame drug category as heroin and LSD.

The letter, authored by Rep. EarlBlumenauer (D-Ore.), follows PresidentObama’s comments to the New Yorker inJanuary, in which he affirmed his belief thatmarijuana is no more dangerous than drink-ing alcohol or smoking cigarettes.

Under the 1970 Controlled SubstancesAct, the Drug Enforcement Administrationclassifies marijuana as a “Schedule I” sub-stance. This is the harshest classificationavailable for illegal substances, placingcannabis in a stricter category than drugslike cocaine. Schedule I substances arebelieved to have "no currently acceptedmedical use and a high potential for abuse."

In the letter, the law makers said to thepresident: "You said that you don't believemarijuana is any more dangerous than alco-

hol: a fully legalized substance, and believeit to be less dangerous 'in terms of its impacton the individual consumer. This is true.Marijuana, however, remains listed in thefederal Controlled Substances Act atSchedule I ... This is a higher listing thancocaine and methamphetamine, Schedule IIsubstances that you gave as examples ofharder drugs. This makes no sense."

Pointing to the high number of peopleincarcerated for possessing marijuana, thecongressman urged Obama have AttorneyGeneral Eric Holder either delist the drug orremove it from Schedule I or II classifica-tion.

Acting unilaterallyThe 1970 law permits the attorney gen-

eral to "remove any drug or other substancefrom the schedules if he finds that the drugor other substance does not meet therequirements for inclusion in any schedule."

Obama, in a recent interview on CNN,however, expressed reluctance to act unilat-erally to reclassify the substance.

Inertia at the federal level has not pre-vented movement on the ganja issue, withmore than 20 States having already decrim-inalized the plant, while two – Colorado andWashington – have fully legalized it.Pressure is building, however, for compre-hensive reforms to be introduced across thenation.

JamaicaThese developments have not gone

unnoticed in Jamaica, with local lobbygroups and legislators on both sides ofParliament urging action to advance thecountry’s interests in light of emerging evi-dence of the many commercial and medici-nal benefits to be derived from the plant.

A Ganja Future Growers and ProducersAssociation was formally established inKingston on January 18, 2014.

Among other things, its aim is to lobbyfor and properly prepare for the day whenJamaicans are free to grow and utlise theversatile plant, legally.

By Caribbean News Now contributorGEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands:

Former Cayman Islands governor,Stuart Jack, has denied allegations that

he, along with two other senior officials,committed misconduct in public office,attempted to pervert the course of justiceand lied to police.

Jack’s denial comes on the heels of anew criminal complaint filed with theCayman Islands police by Martin Bridger,a former senior detective with London’sMetropolitan Police, who led a high-levelcorruption investigation in the CaymanIslands between 2007 and 2009.

This follows a similar complaintmade by Bridger last year to theMetropolitan Police against the territory’scurrent attorney general Samuel Bulgin,former governor Jack and the UK’sForeign and Commonwealth Office(FCO) adviser Larry Covington.

Following a review of Bridger’s ini-tial complaint, Commander Allan Gibsonof London’s Scotland Yard said that theallegations against Bulgin, Jack andCovington amounted to possible "miscon-duct in public office, attempting to pervertthe course of justice and possibly wastingpolice time.”

Gibson wrote to then Cayman Islandsgovernor, Duncan Taylor, “It is my viewthe allegations are serious and contain suf-ficient detail to warrant a criminal investi-gation."

Taylor subsequently ducked the issueby referring the matter to the CaymanIslands police, who apparently did little ornothing in that regard, no doubt promptingBridger’s most recent complaint madedirectly to the local police.

However, allegations that he brokeCayman Islands law are “materiallyfalse,” Jack responded.

Barbadian pop-singingsensation, Rihanna, has

blamed her New Yorkaccountant for losing US$9million in 2009.

In new court papersfiled in Manhattan Federalcourt and disclosed in mediareports here on Thursday,Rihanna, 25, whose realname is Robyn Fenty, claimsthat she had US$11 millionin cash when 2009 began andjust US$2 million when itended, blaming her formeraccountant at the Manhattanfirm of Berdon LLP for theloss.

The pop star claims thataccountant Peter Gounis, ofBerdon LLP, recommendedshe purchase a US$7.5 mil-lion Beverly Hills, Californiamansion in 2009. “So shewent ahead and bought it(but) soon enough, the ‘RunThis Town’ crooner was run-ning into serious financialtrouble,” the New York DailyNews reports.

Gounis advised Fentythat she could afford to pur-chase [the home] at a timewhen Fenty was in financialdismay,” her court docu-ments reveal.

Rihanna’s lawsuitclaims that the mansionturned out to be a bad deal,filled with mould, leaks andother problems, and sheended up selling it for aUS$2-million loss.

The Daily News alsoreported that the ‘Umbrella’singer also claims that theaccountants failed to warnher that her ‘Last Girl onEarth Tour’ in 2009 was like-ly to lose money. She firedthe firm in 2010. “Theseallegations are false,” saidThomas Manisero, a lawyerfor Berdon LLP. “Berdonacted properly concerningFenty’s affairs.”

In December, Gounisalleged in court papers thatRihanna blew her cash onclothes, jewellery and pri-vate jets. “At the core of herclaim is this belief: someoneelse is responsible for herconduct and its conse-quences,” he said in courtpapers.

Rihanna has sincebounced back financiallyand is now worth aroundUS$43 million.

It is estimated that as many as 95% of all divorces in theUnited States are uncontested. This means that the vastmajority of divorcing couples come to an agreement aboutthe issues of property, children, and support. Often, bothparties reach an agreement without the involvement oflawyers.

If you and your spouse are able to come to an agree-ment about the terms of your divorce without the use of alawyer, you may be reluctant to incur the expense of hiringlawyers to complete your divorce. Thankfully, there areways of getting a divorce without hiring lawyers.

In order to get an uncontested divorce, you and yourspouse simply need to draft divorce papers to file with thecourts. The easiest way to do this is to use an onlinedivorce package like LawDepot's Uncontested Divorce.

In some cases, you and your spouse may not immedi-ately come to an agreement about the terms of yourdivorce. This doesn’t mean that you can’t have an uncon-tested divorce and save money by filing for divorce usinga do-it-yourself divorce form. This simply means that youwill have to slowly work through your issues until you cancome to an agreement with your spouse.

You may find that it is necessary to involve lawyers ormediators in order to come to an agreement with yourspouse regarding property, child and support issues. Thisdoesn’t mean that you have to keep the lawyers involvedfor the entire divorce process.

Once you and your spouse have reached an agree-ment, you can now make use of an online divorce package.By cutting the lawyers out of the process as soon as youhave reached an agreement with your spouse, you will savea great deal of money that would otherwise have beenspent on legal fees.

If you do choose to take a do-it-yourself approach todivorce, keep in mind that online divorce services areunable to give you legal advice. They can only provide youwith the documents necessary for divorce. While many ofthese companies will help you understand the divorcepapers that you are filling out, they cannot give you advicefor your specific situation.

In cases where you are in need of legal advice, it isrecommended that you consult an attorney. However, ifyou and your spouse have come to an agreement regardingthe terms of your divorce, and are both able to understandand complete the necessary paperwork without consultinga lawyer, you can save yourself a great deal of time andmoney by using an online divorce package to draft yourdivorce papers.

Dope control officerfails medical exams

KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC:

Jamaica’s leading dope control officer, Dr.Paul Wright, has confessed that on threeoccasions he failed a medical examinationwhich would have qualified him to study fora bachelor of Medicine at the University ofthe West Indies.

Dr. Wright’s revelations came while hewas being cross examined in the anti-dop-ing hearing of Olympic silver medallistSherone Simpson in Kingston onWednesday.

He appeared as a witness for theJamaica Anti-Doping Commission(JADCO) in the hearing which began onTuesday.

"Yes, sir," Dr Wright confirmed. "Andthat exam is the exam that determined if youare qualified to do a Bachelor of medicine(degree), and you failed that exam on threeoccasions?"Gordon quizzed. "Yes, sir". DrWright replied again.

However Dr. Wright informed the hear-ing that he was able to train as a medicaldoctor and graduated in 1976 with a diplo-ma in sports medicine from LeipzigUniversity in East Germany. "Why did younot do the MBBS? Is it because you havefailed on three occasions and could not doit?" Gordon probed.

The Head of the WADA accreditedlaboratory in Montreal, Canada, Dr.Christiane Ayotte, has submitted a reportat the Powell hearing. It is believed to behighly critical of the findings provided byCaribbean Toxicology, Caritox. Caritox isthe Jamaican based laboratory which hasprovided expert evidence on behalf ofPowell, the former world 100 metrerecord holder.

Jadco's attorney Lackston Robinsonwho submitted the WADA report preparedby Dr. Ayotte, told the Lennox Gaylechaired disciplinary panel that the docu-ment will impact Powell's and SheroneSimpson's cases.

The WADA report was not discussedat Wednesday's hearing, because it wastendered into evidence late into the pro-ceedings.

Caritox had found that oxilophrine,for which Powell tested positive, was con-tained in the supplement Epiphany D1which was supplied to the sprinter byCanadian physical trainer Chris Xureb.

Meet SammyBritish

Born in the rural Vere district of Jamaicaand raised on the melodies of Reggae

music pounding from his father’s boom boxevery evening after school, SammyBritishwas influenced at a young age by the lyricsof greats like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh andJimmy Cliff.

By the age of 16 he had already writtenover forty songs. In his earlier years, in aneffort to take up music seriously he joinedthe Glenmuir High School festival choirwhich played a pivotal role in shaping hisdesire to be a performer. SammyBritisheventually emigrated to the United states forcollege where he got his first true experi-ence with Rap & Hip hop music.

He loved it. Over the next four years hewould work to hone his skills in this genre

he found not too dissimilar to reggae ordancehall and experimented with ways inwhich to fuse them.

This exploration seemed, to many, as arisk resulting in just reward. Adamant aboututilizing his music to deliver a positive mes-sage, “this self proclaimed neo-rasta’s musicis contemporary, energetic & fun” (KevinJackson, Jamaica Observer), while featuringa versatile lyrical arrangement with sublimemetaphors, second to none.

His musical expression features a vari-able fusion of styles, including Reggae,DanceHall, Rap, Hip Hop, Pop and Rock,effectively creating his own unique musicalstyle and identity. One he joking dubbed“Reggae - Hop” during an interview withTVJ E-Primes’ Debby Bissoon during aninterview in 2012.

In 2011 SammyBritish signed to indielabel 8:O’Sics Entertainment Group whichhe co-founded earlier that year withManager Da-Voice Grandison. In 2012 hewent on to sign rising star Jamaican com-poser Joel Edwards to said label and ignitedthe fire which has forged what is now hisdebut Album “Original or Dead”. True to therevolutionary ideals from which Reggae andRap originated this music is controversialbut alluring, refreshing.

SammyBritish keeps upping the anteevery year. This recording artist exemplifiesoriginality, as is the predominant chant fromthe title track off his album Original orDead. As we move into 2014, everyone ispoised to see what he has in store for us.

NATIONAL BLACK HISTORY MONTH

WASHINGTON, D.C:

Congressman Charles B. Rangel releasedthe following statement last week, in

celebration of NAACP Founder's Day dur-ing the 2014 National Black History month:

"Black History Month is time to recog-nize the Black experience as an integral partof American history. As one of the foundingMembers of the Congressional BlackCaucus, I was very happy to celebrate whenPresident Gerald R. Ford officially recog-nized the Black History Month in 1976.Since then, I have proudly joined millions ofAmericans every year to recognize the con-tributions and accomplishments of blackpioneers who have made our country comecloser to achieving Rev. Dr. Martin LutherKing's vision of a more equal nation.

This year we're celebrating the 50th

Anniversary of theCivil Rights Actof 1964 as thenation will honorcountless coura-geous advocatesand organizationsthat fought hard topass and executethe historic legis-lation – includingmy dear friendand Colleague,Rep. John Lewis,Rosa Parks, Southern Christian LeadershipConference, NAACP, National UrbanLeague, the Congress for Racial Equality,and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whoinspired me to march 54 miles from Selma to

Montgomery in 1965, to stand up for theVoting Rights Act.

Since the Civil Rights Movement,Blacks have reached high places in everysector of our society, including the HighestOffice in the Nation held by PresidentBarack Obama.

Yet there is still much work to be doneto make further advancements: in educationand science, Black students still fall behindin college graduation rates and only make up7 percent of all STEM (science, technology,engineering, and mathematics) bachelor'sdegrees; in justice, Blacks constitute nearly1 million of the total 2.3 million incarcerat-ed population in America; in economicopportunities, the Black unemployment rateis 12.1 percent, almost doubling the nationalunemployment rate of 6.6 percent.

Rangel Celebrates NAACP Founder'sDay and National Black History Month

Celebrating BlackHistory MonthBlack History Month, also known as

African-American History Month inAmerica, is an annual observance in theUnited States, Canada, and the UnitedKingdom for remembrance of importantpeople and events in the history of theAfrican diaspora.

It is celebrated annually in the UnitedStates and Canada in February and theUnited Kingdom in October.

The precursor to Black History Monthwas created in 1926 in the United States,when historian Carter G. Woodson and theAssociation for the Study of Negro Life andHistory announced the second week ofFebruary to be "Negro History Week." Thisweek was chosen because it marked thebirthday of both Abraham Lincoln andFrederick Douglass.

From the event's initial phase, primaryemphasis was placed on encouraging thecoordinated teaching of the history ofAmerican blacks in the nation's publicschools. The first Negro History Week wasmet with a lukewarm response, gaining thecooperation of the Departments ofEducation of the states of North Carolina,Delaware, and West Virginia as well as thecity school administrations of Baltimoreand Washington, D.C. Despite this far fromuniversal acceptance, the event was never-theless regarded by Woodson as "one of themost fortunate steps ever taken by theAssociation," and plans for a repeat of theevent on an annual basis continued apace.

At the time of Negro History Week'slaunch Woodson contended that the teach-ing of black history was essential to ensurethe physical and intellectual survival of therace within broader society:

AQueens school teacher's decision to notallow student reports on Malcolm X

for Black History Month has spurred out-rage among parents and local leaders.

Parents at P.S. 201 in Kew GardensHills were outraged when a technologyteacher told fourth grade students theycouldn't choose Malcolm X for a writingassignment about prominent black leaderMalcolm X for Black History Month.

"My son came home and said, 'Guesswhat dad, the teacher said we can't writeabout Malcolm X because he was quoteunquote bad,'" said Frank Brown, a parent.

Unlike Martin Luther King Jr.,Malcolm X rejected non-violence and said

black people should respond to racism byany means necessary to achieve their rights.He was assassinated in 1965.

Brown says his son has read this bookabout Malcolm X many times, and he andhis wife just bought another copy for theteacher. Parents say the teacher acknowl-edged using the words "bad" and "violent"but said she felt information about Malcolmshe found on a website was not age appro-priate.

City Councilman Andy King of theBronx, who co-chairs the Council's black,Latino and Asian caucus, says the teacherfailed to consider all aspects of Malcolm X'slife.

"He was a great leader, orator and spir-itual leader not just for black Americans butpeople around the globe. So that is the con-versation you have to lead 9-year-old brainsto," King said.

On Monday morning parents and leg-islative leaders met with the principal andteacher at P.S. 201 and were happy to hearan assembly will be held for all fourthgraders, where the teacher is expected toapologize.

"This is day one of healing and as wemove forward we will get back to this mat-ter and see where we are from here," Brownsaid.

Business operators, shoppers, drivers and pedestrians who use the Fulton Avenue Bridge thatconnects Mount Vernon and Pelham Manor are upset about the frequent closure of the bridge for“emergency repairs.” Several business owners in the Pelham Manor Plaza told Street Hypereporters that the frequent closure has been affected their business operation. “Our customer traf-fic has been cut by up to 40%,” an angry business owner noted. People in the area tell Street Hypethey're worried how this will affect traffic. "This is a very busy area here because you got peoplefrom Mount Vernon, The Bronx and Pelham; so it's very busy; traffic will be horrendous,” a shoppernoted. The bridge was closed for emergency repairs after inspectors found structural deficienciesin the bridge. The bridge has failed numerous inspections in the past and has been closed for aslong as six months at a time. It was closed intermittently for maintenance work in May last year. TheFulton Avenue Bridge, which connects Mount Vernon and Pelham Manor, has been closed since thelast week of January 2014 for repairs.

Hunt for the Right Hair BrushThere is a lot of variety when it comes tobrushes and the right one for you mightnot be available in your local stores. Usethe internet or ask your hairstylist to spe-cial order any hair brush that you can't findinstead of settling for what you can.

Hair TreatmentsFor best results using hair treatments,shampoo your hair to get rid of dirt, applythe treatment and then follow with yourconditioner. If your hair is oily apply thetreatment to your mid-lengths and endsonly. For dry and processed hair, massagethe treatment into your scalp to rehydrateyour hair follicles.

Give Your Hairstylist FeedbackOnce you've gotten your new look be sureto let your hairstylist know what you think.It doesn't matter if you love it or hate it,giving them feedback about the job they'vedone and what you think of the end resultwill be helpful for future hair salonappointments and for building a great rela-tionship with your hairstylist.

Low Maintenance Hair ColorFor a hair color that doesn't require lots ofeffort but still looks great, try a hue that isas close to your natural hair color as possi-ble. This cuts down on root touch ups andtime (and money) spent combating colorfade.

Forget Cost, Get it WashedIt's a big temptation at the salon to skip thehair wash and just get a dry cut. Don't!Your hair needs to be washed- not justsprayed wet. Why? Growth patterns areobvious in fully soaked hair, and if yourstylist can clearly see them they can mod-ify your cut and make sure you get the beststyle possible.

Good Looking HighlightsFor highlights that will look good whengrowing out, use a darker hair color atyour roots that blends to a lighter tone atthe tips of your hair.

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little inse-cure. I make mistakes, I am out of con-trol and at times hard to handle. But ifyou can't handle me at my worst, thenyou sure as hell don't deserve me at mybest.” - Marilyn Monroe“You may not be her first, her last, orher only. She loved before she maylove again. But if she loves you now,what else matters? She's not perfect -you aren't either, and the two of youmay never be perfect together but ifshe can make you laugh, cause you tothink twice, and admit to being humanand making mistakes, hold onto herand give her the most you can. Shemay not be thinking about you everysecond of the day, but she will give youa part of her that she knows you canbreak - her heart. So don't hurt her,don't change her, don't analyze anddon't expect more than she can give.

Smile when she makes you happy, lether know when she makes you mad,and miss her when she's not there.”

Dear Divine Diva:

Iam a college junior, who has beendating a young man for threeyears, and I am also a virgin. Myboyfriend has always known that Iam paranoid about getting involvedsexually, while I am in college,because my oldest sister got preg-nant in college and never had theopportunity to finish school.

I saw the disappointment in myparents’ eyes because they sacrificeda lot to send her to college, only forher to get pregnant in her sophomoreyear. I am determined not to disap-point my parents, but lately, he hasbeen pressuring me to have sex.

I told him to give me one moreyear to finish school, but he contin-ues to pressure me when we arealone. What should I do? Student atHunter College.

Dear Student: If you are not ready, then sit downwith this young man and let himknow that you are not going to sac-rifice your principles to make himhappy. Also, let him know that if heloves you, he will be willing to wait.Way too often that line is used byyoung men to pressure young ladiesinto having sex with them. So thistime, flip the script on him.

Paranoid about gettinginvolved sexually!

According to the City HealthDepartment, immigrants make up

most tuberculosis cases in the city with theoverall number being more than twice thenational rate.

About 8 percent of the patients testedfor tuberculosis at Union CommunityHealth Center test positive.

Katherine Cocca-Bates, a nurse prac-titioner and clinical coordinator for thecenter's occupational health services saysit's affecting one group of New Yorkers inparticular.

"A lot of our patients are born in a dif-ferent country and come to the UnitedStates, so a lot of our patients have beenexposed to tuberculosis or have received avaccine against tuberculosis as a child,"says Cocca-Bates.

While the overall number of TB casesin the city is down, eight per 100,000, it'smore than twice the national rate at 3.2 per100,000.

That's according to the city HealthDepartment, which says that the numberof immigrants with TB has been increas-ing. In 2011, 80 percent of cases wereamong the foreign-born. In 2012, it was84 percent of the 651 cases.

"People who have been here for fiveyears or less should be tested because theyare at higher risk," Cocca-Bates says.

Cocca-Bates normally administersthe TB test to those required to take it forwork.

The majority of her patients are fromthe Dominican Republic, other Caribbeannations, Central and South America, andAsia.

She warns that even if you have beenin the U.S. for more than five years, ifyou've spent significant time with rela-tives or friends with active tuberculosissymptoms, you could also be at risk."Some of the signs of active tuberculosisdisease are coughing, shortness of breath,coughing up blood, having night sweats,and fevers and chills," Cocca-Bates says.

You can also have tuberculosis withno symptoms, meaning it's latent or does-n't spread from person to person.However, latent TB can also becomeactive.

"A really important thing is to makesure that people are in care with their pri-mary care provider, and make sure thatthey're being monitored," says Cocca-Bates.

Free testing is provided at city chestcenters.

BUSINESS ETHICS: Work Ethics

By Leanne Hoagland-SmithExpert Author Leanne Hoagland-Smith

These steps should assist you tostrengthen your own work ethics and

provide greater self-satisfaction.

Assess your beliefsThis step is really several combined into

one if you don't have a purpose in life, val-ues and vision statements. Define yourbeliefs as you carry out your purpose,vision and values. Are those beliefs consis-tent and in alignment with those state-ments?

Look to your goalsDo you have written goals that you con-

tinually striving to achieve? Without goals,why would we work less alone be con-cerned about our work quality?

Ask for feedbackSeeking feedback from mentors, peers as

well as bosses helps us to know if we areon target. Sometimes due to our filters ofexperience what we see is not what otherssee.

Hone your skillsBecoming the best at what you do is a

good thing. Seeking continuous improve-ment will demonstrate that you are trulycommitted to a delivering a high level ofwork ethics.

Determine your standardsWhat are the work standards that define

your work ethics? Do you go along withothers and settle for mediocrity or are youcomfortable striving for more because youknow you can do it.

Model your beliefs through your behaviors

Are you daily behaviors demonstrating ahigh level of work ethics? If no one islooking, do you act the same way or doyou change because it's okay since no oneis looking and can report my behaviors.
