For your discussion, consider either Pinsky’s discussion of a department’s adoption Fayol’s 14 Principles of Management or the description of the 6 organizational principles by Dias and Vaughn.  Apply at least two of the principles to what you’ve experienced in a public safety organization or what you’ve read about a public safety organization.  The readings are applicable to all disciplines and, therefore, you shouldn’t need to choose the article to match the discipline. 

Consider choosing one of the more obscure principles to make connections that may foster more discussion. 

You may choose to discuss how application of the principle is lacking and how applying the principle would lead to better outcomes. 

You may also choose to explain how the principle is applied appropriately and discuss the positive outcomes related to that. 

Finally, you may argue that the principle was rejected, either without ill effects or with positive outcomes.
