Solving Agency Problems
Imagine that you are the supervisor of a certain criminal justice agency. (Choose one from the Rasmussen library such as a case study, or one with which you are familiar and understand in some depth.)
In a 2-3 page paper, define one problem that exists within your agency. This problem can be a real issue within your agency or it can be fictitious.
A few examples would a personnel issue such as sick leave abuse, or a discipline issue involving misconduct. Be sure to select a problem that is critical enough that that leadership would have to resolve it in order to maintain a positive work environment.
Please select a problem or issue that is different from your final project and complete the following:
Discuss why the problem exists.
Develop at least two alternative solutions to the problem. One of these solutions must involve a change or innovation. Both should require you to practice management and leadership skills.
Decide which solution is the most feasible and present your solution.
Finally, consider what negative or unintended consequences might result from implementing your chosen solution. How would you plan to deal with this negative or unintended consequence?
