As a consultant, you need to develop an in-depth analysis and evaluation of the selected agency’s ethics, cooperation, leadership, and legal decisions (if applicable), and then provide recommendations for improvement. The analysis will be read by the VP of public programs and client support, as well as by the leaders of the agency for whom you are working. Therefore, you will research related academic sources and government websites. Write a 5–7 page paper (including title and reference page) entitled Part 2: Evaluation of [Selected Agency]’s Ethics, Cooperation, and Leadership in which you separate the content into the following sections:
- Administrative Ethics.
