Drug Scenario

You are a Senior Special Agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration. Intelligence reports indicate that a new drug cartel is setting up business in a rural community just west of Tucson, AZ.

The cartel is comprised of several drug traffickers from Mexico, and a small group of distributors that are believed to be American citizens from Tucson. The reports suggest that this group may

be receiving assistance from the local police in AZ, but there is no solid evidence to link the local police to the cartel. The group may also be responsible for several murders on both sides of the

border.

An informant who is not always credible, told you that the group from Mexico is very suspicious of the Americans and will not deal with them until the Americans can show they have sufficient

funding to handle 2,000 pounds of marihuana a week. You have no reason to suspect that the informant is playing both sides, it’s just that the information he provided in the past has not always

been accurate.

Your boss has told you that you have 12 months to work this case and she wants results. In addition to the 12 month time frame, your boss wants you and your Team to penetrate the group to

determine the cartel’s span of operation to include whether the group is dealing in more than just marihuana and whether they are responsible for the murders. Your resources are not unlimited,

but your boss has told you that you can have 4 Special Agents from any DEA office, and you available funding and the use of military personnel that are assigned to a Multi-National Drug

Interdiction Program in CA.

This week, assume that you are the newly appointed principal of the Green Street Elementary School and the superintendent recognizes you have a great task ahead to turn the school around. To support your actions in transforming the school, she asks you to develop an action plan, which she will share with the school board. The purpose of this action plan is to outline the proposed steps you will use, during a 6-month period, to produce a school-wide transformation.

For this assignment, you will create an action plan based on the following scenario. Since you are the fourth principal in three years to lead this school, the school board is concerned and skeptical about the school’s current status and reputation. Teachers and students are not engaged. Some teachers are requesting a transfer because they believe their efforts are not recognized; therefore, the school culture and climate are “toxic” and not conducive to learning. The previous principal had a personal vision, but it was never communicated. His leadership style was perceived as a dictatorship, instead of collaboration. Overall, the teachers worked in isolation and they were not valued—conditions that resulted in poor attendance rates for the teachers and students and declining test scores.

Since it is obvious that some efforts must be implemented to improve Green Street Elementary School, the superintendent and school board agree to support your plans. The steps you will take to transform the school must be clearly illustrated in this action plan, which will be submitted to the school board. Where applicable, include references to the ISLLC Standards, your leadership style and your personality as you engage in your leadership approach. Be sure to support your work with research such as Kouzes and Posner, Covey, Senge, and Maxwell.
