Problem: Article: You do not need to do a major cleaning unless the bowl has developed slime or grime you cannot scrub off, or if the water has become permanently cloudy. The more involved the cleaning is, and the more water you replace, the more stressed your fish will be. If the fish bowl is an adequate size for your betta fish, at least 3 gal. (6 L), you will only need to clean it this way once or twice a year. You'll be replacing about 50% of the water in the fish bowl. Use tap water treated with dechlorination tablets, freshly collected rainwater, or distilled water treated with aquarium salts. Check the water temperature to make sure it matches the water in the fish bowl. See the preparation section for more information on preparing aquarium water. Move roughly 50% of the water in the fish bowl to another container. Even if the water looks filthy, do not transfer your betta to a container of new water. The shock could kill it. Keeping the old water also insures that you will still have useful bacteria in your fish bowl, which will break down otherwise harmful chemicals produced by your fish's waste. Separate out any gravel, pebbles and decorations by pouring the water through a sieve standing on a bucket, or by scooping them out with a cup. Dump the remaining water into your garden or down a drain. If your bowl is too heavy to handle easily, use a siphon hose instead to transfer the water to a bucket in stages. Rinse all gravel, pebbles, and decorations once in a basin of hot water to remove as much grime as possible. Pour out the hot water and rinse a second time in cool or room temperature water. Rub them with your fingers or your dedicated aquarium sponge while rinsing the second time. If water and elbow grease alone won't remove the gunk on the fish bowl, wet a cloth with white vinegar and scrub the sides. Always thoroughly rinse the vinegar in room temperature water after the fish bowl is clean. Never use any soap, cleaning products, or any substance besides water or vinegar to clean your fish bowl. Return the gravel, pebbles, and/or decoration to the fish bowl. Pour in the newly prepared water. Pour in most of the old water, but leave enough in the temporary container for your betta to swim. Wait for the clouds and gravel to subside to the bottom if necessary. Because of the major changes to the bowl, introducing your fish slowly is recommended. Float the betta fish and the water it's been swimming in inside a small plastic bag, on top of the bowl water. After 15 minutes, pour a little of the bowl water into the bag. After 30 minutes, let the betta swim out of the bag into the rest of the bowl, and remove the bag.
Summary: Use this method only when absolutely necessary. Prepare a new container of water. Transfer half the water and the betta to another container. Empty the fish bowl. Rinse the contents twice. Scrub the fish bowl with vinegar if necessary. Set up the fish bowl again. Return the betta fish to its bowl.

Problem: Article: Making room for creative approaches and even failure fosters a positive working environment and allows employees to bring their own talents to the table. While the goals you have itemized in your plan should be consistent across the board, understand that your employees have different ways of thinking and a variety of skills. One employee's method for resolving a customer complaint, for instance, might not be what you specifically envisionedit might be even better! Consider posing situational examples in group meetings and asking employees how they would resolve the problem. For instance, "X customer has a screaming baby and can't find Y product. How would you help him/her?" Thought experiments can then be tested in the work environment. In the following meeting, have employees reflect on how these experiments went in actuality. Everyone needs affirmation, and highlighting jobs well done both reinforces new habits and skills and inspires others to do well. Make a point to give praise immediately when possible. Set aside time in weekly or bi-weekly meetings to compliment employees on what they are doing well. Mention specific instances when you have observed an employee utilizing a new skill or behavior that is part of your long term vision and reaffirm how that small act is important to the larger goals. While verbal praise offers emotional reward, tangible benefits (such as time or money) also reinforce a job well done and create a positive work environment. For example, if your True North statement was "100% customer satisfaction," you might offer a bonus to employees who have had no customer complaints for a month. To promote a collaborate environment, you might choose to reward all of your employees with a nice group dinner or a weekend trip if your company meets the quarterly goal.
Summary: Allow experimentation. Show appreciation publicly. Incentivize employee objectives.

Problem: Article: Your feet should be together. Pop your right foot up slightly, but keep the ball of your foot on the floor. Lower your right heel to the floor as your raise your left foot up. Then lower your left heel to the floor and raise your right heel. Repeat once more on the right side. The rhythm of this step is the "cha cha cha" that gives the dance its name. It should take two beats of whatever song you're dancing to. You should end with your right heel on the floor and your left heel lifted off the floor slightly, resting on the ball of your foot. This triple step is one of the most basic cha cha steps, so it's important that you practice it. Don't take a huge step your left foot should only extend about a foot in front of you. As you step forward, your right heel should come up off the floor as you rock onto the ball of your right foot. This step should happen on the third beat of the song. The rocking step should be pretty smooth. Both of your feet should always be partially touching the floor as you transfer your weight from one foot to the other. Rock your right foot back so that your heel is on the floor again. As you do this, bring your left foot back to meet your right foot in the starting position. This step should happen on the fourth beat of whatever song you're dancing to. Once you replace your left foot, repeat the triple step, beginning with your left foot this time. Extend your right leg back so that the ball of your foot touches the floor. As your rock backward and your right heel takes your weight, lift your left foot up so that the ball of your foot comes off the floor and your heel stays in place. Then rock back onto your left foot and bring your right leg back to starting position.
Summary:
Start with a triple step. Take a rock step forward with your left foot. Perform a rock step from your right to left foot. Repeat the triple step. Rock step backward with your right foot.
