Review the FBI website AND the CIA website to see what can be gleaned about the culture of each organization. As you review both sites, consider the following questions:
ADDRESS ALL THESE QUESTIONS IN NARRATIVE FORM IN YOUR PAPER!
- What are the historical roots of the different organizational and behavioral cultures in the FBI and the CIA?
- How do these cultures affect their work? In both good and bad ways?
- How likely is it that the 2 agencies will be able to change their cultures and develop effective communication strategies among the 2 agencies?
- Do you think changes in the organizational structure can produce changes in the organizational and behavioral culture?
- Is the 9/11 Commission’s proposal a good idea? Why or why not?
- How else might an organization’s culture change, if not by changes to its structure?
ADDRESS THESE AS WELL
- An evaluation of the leadership culture for both CIA and FBI
- Theories represented (YES THEORIES …at least two leadership theories from your text (look at Chapter 4) or other library readings.)
- Overall organizational performance
- Recommendations for improvement
MAKE SURE TO ALSO compare 2 other elected positions that fall under the executive branch. Some examples are state/governor, local/mayor, attorney general, secretary of state, and other elected state officials. Based on your review of their websites, what can you say about the leadership culture of each organization? Provide examples that support your findings. Which leadership, communication, organizational, and behavioral theories and concepts are represented? Explain your answer.
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper about what each organization was doing well and suggestions for areas in need of improvement. Include the following in your paper. For every 1-50 words short you are, there is a 5pt penalty per each 50 words short of the minimum word count. Many students fail to observe the word count requirement in the assignment directions.
Cite in the body of your paper at least 3 peer-reviewed references (this means academic journal articles) from the University Library. Make sure to have three peer-reviewed references and cite them in your paper APA style.
Format your paper according to APA guidelines. The library writing center has a sample APA paper and template (APA7) for you to use if you are not familiar with APA. Do not procrastinate with this assignment!
