A new Integrating mechanism at the White House -- apologies for multiple copies

  • 1.  A new Integrating mechanism at the White House -- apologies for multiple copies

    Posted 05-17-2007 17:45
    Yesterday, the White House announced the appointment of a War Czar.
    Lt-General Lute is to serve in this important integrating role. He
    will report directly to the President, but he will be ranked as a
    Deputy National Security advisor.

    Imagine you are a member of the President's Board of Organizational
    and Leadership advisors (a body that does not yet exist, but let us
    imagine that it does). The President has belatedly (that is after
    making the decision) called on you for your advice as to whether this
    makes sense organizationally.

    Please consider the pro's and con's of the appointment and its
    position and give your advice as to whether this is sensible or
    whether alternative arrangements should have been made.

    Please reply to me on or off list and I will post the results of this
    inquiry later.

    Thank you for taking part in this exercise.
