Case Study of George Tenet

George Tenet was the director of the central Intelligence Agency from 1997 to 2004; it was a very trying time for the Clinton and Bush administration. Tenet would cover many things in his career and that would have a major impact on the terrorist attacks of September 11 and U.S. invasion of Iraq. There were many intelligence directors that sever before him, but none that were more establish or had a drive for controversy. During George Tenet career, he played a big role in many events, such as invasion of Iraq and reorganization of the nation’s intelligence. Tenet involvement with the White House decision making, intelligence priorities, and his own agency kept him occupied (DANIELSON).

George Tenet dealt with many cross coded ethical dilemmas, which were in violation of national and international human rights. He was also faced with ethical dilemmas and his dishonest to the

People within the government. Tent was a laissez for Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Yasser Arafat was an ethical concern to the United States. His involvement with those ethical dilemmas left a bitter impression on his effectiveness in more ways than one. When the CIA administrator chooses to act as laissez faire among Israeli prime minister and Yasser Arafat, some of his affiliates inside of his administration did not see it in a positive way. Tent always acts as though he was the best man for his position. This imperils his authority since people begin to question his leadership (DANIELSON) .
There were many ways in which Tent would speak out about prioritization of ethical concerns. One way he made sure that the policies were implemented and not made at the CIA. Tent was the go to man for Yasser Arafat and the Israeli’s prime minister; he would speak on prioritization of ethical concerns, stating that they were the only entity sides that they both could trust. By him making such a statement made both sides distressed. When Tent spoke about this situation, it was apparent that he had good leadership qualities; he tried to make the insiders think his way was better than any other way( HMUKASEY) .
During the Clinton administration he became more knowledgeable of the threats that were made by Osama Bin Laden and plans to capture him. As the CIA administrator Tent, informed all of the officials of the threat, stating that the country was at war, and he did not want any humans nor resources pardon on this effort. Tent had good intentions for the country, he informed the

Government of the best way to grasp a hold on the circumstance, so that the enemy would not find the country ungraded. On May 11, 1988 the Indian testing program was implemented, which was a surprise to the U.S. intelligence community. Tent acknowledgment to the senator at the time that Richard Shelby that they never had any evidence. Tenet would display a level of honesty, which was good, because the government can build their expectation on something that is not well understood. The government would point the finger at Tenet, for the use of the war planes on the faulty intelligence and the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade by accident a year later ( HMUKASEY) .

There were four major strategies that Tenet used during his office, that were over lapping many of the intergovernmental organizations encounter ethical obligations. Many of the strategies guarantee that all the corporate movements were legal, ethical and harmonize with the regulatory guidelines. Some officials would base this on a leader’s ability to be wrong or right. The ethical strategies usually would grant a visual picture ensuring all individual and organizational character is train through the program of ethics. Last, the ethics strategies should contribute a means for monitoring and policing organizational activates to downsize the proportion of legal and ethical violations. .Whenever, ethical programs are not enforced; many board members are held accountable for ethical lapses (HMUKASEY) .

Communication strategy is a strategy that is mention more offend than any other one. This strategy support in putting together a sustainable ethical culture, which implicate communicating behavior expectations, training in compliance issues, and training expectations. Resulting in matters that have been reported already. When communication strategy is implemented, it ensures compliance which deters fraud and abuse, therefore increase the establishment value and effectiveness. Individuals within the organizations use this statement of values strategy you help in communication of the organization. The code of conduct, also ties into the ethical policy of communications strategy, commitment of the ethical behavior apply ways to defer the avaible values in a representative situation. Leadership strategies are really just monitoring and code enforcement strategies that are consider important, because they locate the responsibly for ethic programs and organizations to make sure the organization is serious and oversight is received (Leffler) .

George Tent had many goals for the CIA, just to name a few a he wanted to increase the morale ,have a define mission, a better way of analysis intelligence collection, increase funding , have more recruits, and improve traning.Tent stated to rebuild and appoint more qutifiled individual to ensure that those priorities were met. For an example he started with the financial agency’s spending, who assist in the rebuilding of the agency’s spending. He then called back retired veterans who were talented from their retirement (35-48). Tent, then asked for more

funding, but only got a small increase. When Tent referred to Al-Qaeda, there was always a public and media complaint with the top intelligence officials who started to feel uncomfortable about books on secrets dealing with top priority issues. George Tent warns the country about threats that Al-Qaeda were attempting to strike with a nuclear threat since they came up with a nuclear weapon. The government came up with some notions that were seen neither good nor bad. The government has several techniques they should make use of, such as being obedience to supervisors, neglecting policies, and directives that individuals don’t agree with. Also, neglecting orders which an individual this is unfair; at all government levels a partnership should be built. Last, the creation of an organization that is not equipped to deal with the government internal opportunities is limited or debility( Al-Khateeb) .
