President
Make a decision based on the information given to you by your staff. Explain to the
Press how you came to your decision.
Chief of Staff
You believe the President should stay out of the crisis in Syria. You believe US
intervention will only cause greater harm to the economy, the stability in the Middle
East, and the image of the country. You are determined to make sure the President
makes the right decision.
Secretary of Defense
You believe the time to strike Syria is NOW. You are certain if the US enacts and
enforces a no-fly zone over Syria, we can help bring down Assad’s regime. We have
the manpower, the weaponry, and the opportunity to bring democracy to the
Middle East’s most diverse Arab country.
Secretary of State
You believe that putting diplomatic pressure on Syria should be done by your office.
You need the President to dispatch you to the Middle East to meet with “stable”
governments to have them put pressure of Assad. Military intervention, you believe
is too premature. Working through diplomatic channels is your forte and should be
pursued right now.
White House Senior Advisor
You believe that Syria is doomed. The President, you believe should continue his
strong rhetoric against Assad’s regime. The best forum to do this, you believe is
through the United Nations. Imposing strong economic sanctions and freezing all of
his country’s financial assets will further cripple the dictator and lead to his
eventual overthrow.
Press Secretary
You need to the President to take a stand now on Syria! You have a press
conference scheduled for later this afternoon and you are not sure of his position. If
the President cannot make up his mind, how will you be able to effectively answer
questions? You certainly want to be seen as a skilled communicator, not a bumbling
idiot.
Personal Secretary: Pyramid Style
Good morning Mr. President! You have your daily briefing by your chief of staff
this morning and a meeting with your press secretary before this afternoon’s press
conference. Shall I send in your Chief of Staff now?
Personal Secretary: Circular Style
Good morning, Mr. President! You have your daily briefing by your chief of staff
this morning, followed by a meeting with your Secretaries of defense & state. Your
senior advisor also needs to meet with you this morning, too. Finally, you need to
meet with your Press secretary before this afternoon’s press conference. Shall I send
in your Chief of Staff now?
Personal Secretary: Ad Hoc Style
Good morning Mr. President! You have your daily briefing by your chief of staff
and senior advisor this morning. You also need to meet with your press secretary
before this afternoon’s press conference. Shall I send in your Chief of Staff and
Senior Advisor now?
