1) Institutionalize Brand Stewardship: develop an internal culture of pride and ownership in Brand Stewardship with the appointment of a Brand Stewardship Officer and the symbolization of key successes with a Brand Hall of Fame. The Brand Stewardship Officer (“BSO”) can create a cross-regional and cross-service group to organize education seminars and training across the company. The BSO will be a strong signal that O&M is directionally focused on integrating this new philosophy. Furthermore, the creation of a Hall of Fame will create public recognition of successes such as Jaguar and American Express, which will allow employees to see the fruits of their labors. It also provides concrete examples to countervail doubters and detractors.
There are many positions within a school system providing necessary services to students. Maggie’s occupation as a Speech and Language Pathologist (SLP) is one of those positions. She is a sub-contracted out professional employee of her school, but her contract states, by law, what services she is required to render. As a leader in a school we should use the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards to help make decisions pertaining to employees and their obligated contracts. The assistant principal in this case study is violating several of the ISLLC standards. First, and most obvious, is the violation of standard four concerning collaboration and building positive relationship with staff. By telling Maggie and the teachers of the changes and not collaborating with them, a sense of trust is gone and it will be more difficult for staff to want to work for the assistant

Increasingly, more and more evidence shows how cannabidiol (CBD) cannabis is making a positive impact in treating children with rare diseases, particularly seizure conditions. The story of Jayden David, first shown on the Sanjay Gupta’s documentary Weed Wars, is only one of many that deserves to be told, as it highlights just how CBD oil is making a difference in the lives of families that dared to try their luck with an alternative form of treatment. CBD hemp oil, derived from the cannabis plant industrial hemp has been shown to alleviate a myriad of health conditions. Research and personal stories are expanding the dialogue on just how medical cannabis could be beneficial in treating conditions such as Dravet syndrome that plagues Jayden.

Charlotte’s seizures started when she was three months old. She was not diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome until she was 2 ½ years old. Charlie was put on a ketogenic diet which helped decrease the seizures, but it had terrible side effects on her. Two years after starting the diet, the seizures came back and Charlotte’s parents turned to cannabis oil. Charlotte could not walk, talk, and eat until she was started on cannabis oil. She was also suffering from 300 grand mal seizures a week says Brian Resnick, in the article “The Case For Legalizing Medical Cannabis for Kids.” Immediately the cannabis oil took effect and decreased her seizures to just two or three seizures a month.

Medical marijuana also has the capability of helping children with any form of epilepsy. Parents with epileptic children are discovering that the non-psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, commonly referred to as CBD, is decreasing the amount of seizures their child has. With the deduction in seizures, said children are developing normally. When a child is diagnosed with a syndrome that can cause seizures, it is not uncommon for the child to stop developing and even deteriorate to a prior state of development. Charlotte Figi, who was diagnosed with Dravet syndrome at six months of age, was experiencing 300 grand mal seizures a week, but after ingesting a form of marijuana low in Tetrahydrocannabinol(THC), the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, she is experiencing only 7 a week. Charlotte’s mother, Paige, saw her daughter deteriorating away due to the Dravet diagnosis. Faced with certain death, Paige decided to research a form of marijuana low in THC but high in CBD.

I agree with you Gillian, I was too very intrigued and inspired by Rafi’s answer to this question. It clearly shows that the citizens of Afghanistan want to progress and to achieve peace, and they are doing it the right way. I particularly loved the part of the class when he mentioned that peace always comes on top, and historically he is right. Time and time again we see that nonviolent movements achieve their purpose. I believe that as long as there are people like him in Afghanistan, and in the world. Things have a chance of improving, I believe it is heroic for him to risk his live time and time again for his country and his family. His purpose and motivation have to be very firm and strong for him to do that every day. I simply have to
