Synthesizing his own experience implementing the most comprehensive reforms to the national security establishment since 1947, Fingar provides crucial guidance to newly appointed officials.When Fingar was appointed the first Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Analysis in 2005, he discovered the challenges of establishing a new federal agency and implementing sweeping reforms of intelligence procedure and performance. The mandate required prompt action but provided no guidance on how to achieve required and desirable changes. Fingar describes how he defined and prioritized the tasks involved in building and staffing a new organization, integrating and improving the work of sixteen agencies, and contending with pressure from powerful players.For appointees without the luxury of taking command of fully staffed and well-functioning federal agencies, From Mandate to Blueprint is an informed and practical guide for the challenges ahead. 606 $aAdministrative agencies$zUnited States$xManagement 610 $aIntelligence. 610 $abureaucracy. 610 $aorganization. 610 $areform. 610 $ateam-building. 615 0$aAdministrative agencies$xManagement. 676 $a353.075 700 $aFingar$b Thomas$01116153 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554261403321 996 $aFrom mandate to blueprint$92820036 997 $aUNINA
