Bernard Bailey "Bernie" Kerik (born September 4, 1955 in Newark, New Jersey) is a former American law-enforcement officer. Kerik was Police Commissioner of the City of New York from 2000 to 2001, under Mayor Rudy Giuliani. In December 2004, George W. Bush nominated Kerik as Secretary of Homeland Security. A week later, Kerik withdrew his nomination, explaining that he had employed an illegal immigrant as a nanny; subsequently, numerous allegations surfaced which would likely have led to a confirmation battle. In 2006, Kerik pled guilty to two unrelated ethics violations after an investigation by the Bronx District Attorney's Office, and was ordered to pay $221,000. He is currently under Federal investigation: A grand jury issued a multi-count indictment on November 8, 2007 alleging conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud and lying to the Internal Revenue Service. Kerik surrendered to authorities on Friday, November 9, 2007, was arraigned before Magistrate Judge George Yanthis in White Plains, New York Federal Court, and pled not guilty to all 16 charges.^[1][2][3]

Related to Bernard Bailey "Bernie" Kerik is Dr. Lee P. Brown a police commissioner in both Houston, Texas and New York New, York as well as mayor of Houston Texas and member of the organized crime family called Bush Dr. Lee P. Brown

Personal

The son of Donald Raymond Kerik, Sr. and Patricia Joann Bailey, Kerik was born in Newark, New Jersey into a Roman Catholic family, and raised in Paterson, New Jersey.

Kerik attended Eastside High School,^[4] but dropped out to enlist in the army^[5]. He later received a General Equivalency Diploma. After leaving the New York City Police Department, he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Administration from Empire State College of the State University of New York in 2002. He also attended Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government^[6].

Kerik has worked as a U.S. Army Military Policeman (MP), a bodyguard, a jail warden and an undercover narcotics detective. He is also a 5th degree black belt master instructor in the martial arts, who holds black belts in both Japanese Karate and Korean Tae Kwon Do.

In 1987, when he was working as a New York Police officer, Kerik declared bankruptcy, citing his credit card bills and loan payments.^[7]

In 2001, Kerik published a memoir, The Lost Son: A Life in Pursuit of Justice^[8] a New York Times best seller. In this book, he revealed that his parents divorced when he was three years old, and that his mother, an alcoholic and a prostitute, was murdered when he was nine - possibly by her pimp^[9].

[edit] Marriages and children

Kerik's first child was a daughter born out of wedlock, when he was 19 and serving in South Korea as a military policeman. The daughter, Yi Sa (Lisa) Marie Jordan, was born in October 1975. Her mother is a woman identified as Yi Yun Cha. In February, 1976, Kerik completed his tour of duty in South Korea and was transferred back to the United States, leaving both women behind. In his autobiography, Kerik called the episode “a mistake I will always regret, and I pray to God that one day I can make it right”. In December, 2001, Kerik and his daughter Lisa re-united after 26 years of separation. From his daughter, he has two grandchildren.

Kerik has been married three times. His first marriage was to Linda Hales on August 10, 1978, when he was nearly 24 and she was 27. They separated in 1982 and were officially divorced June 6, 1983.^[10] Linda — now remarried and known as Linda H Priest — is the Clerk of Superior Court in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Kerik's second marriage was to Jacqueline Llerena of New Jersey. It lasted from September 3, 1983 to July 1992. Together they had one son, Joseph Michael (born June 11, 1985) who is a Police Officer with the Newark Police Department in New Jersey.

Kerik's third marriage was to Syria-born Hala Matli (born February 3, 1972). He met her in 1996, when she was the officer manager in his dentist's office. They married on November 1, 1998, and they have two daughters: Celine Christina (born March 3, 2000) and Angelina Amber (born October 30, 2002). Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former Mayor of New York City, is their godfather ^[11].

He had a year long affair with Judith Regan, the publisher of his autobiography.

Kerik presently lives in a $2.2 million home in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey^[12].

[edit] Military and police experience

Bernard Kerik in Korea in 1975.

Kerik enlisted in the U.S. Army in July, 1974 and became a Military policeman (MP) assigned to Korea as an MP Sentry Dog Handler and to the XVIII Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg, North Carolina assuming Military Police duties and teaching hand to hand combat to Special Operations and Special Forces Personnel at the John F. Kennedy Unconventional Warfare Center. In 1977, he received an honorable discharge from the Army whereby he became a member of the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office (NC). In April, 1978, he was employed by the Morrison Knudson Saudi Arabia Consortium (MKSAC) as a Security Officer on the King Khalid Military City in Hafar Al-Batin, Saudi Arabia for nearly two and a half years.

Detective Bernard Kerik

Kerik worked from 1982 to 1984 as chief of investigations for the security office at King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, one of the kingdom's premier hospitals, where members of the royal family are treated. Six members of the hospital security staff, including Kerik, were fired and deported after an investigation in 1984 by the Saudi secret police.^[13]

Kerik served as warden of the Passaic County jail, the largest county adult correctional facility in New Jersey, from January to July 1986. There, he also served as the Department's Training Officer and Commander of the Special Weapons and Operations units.

Kerik served with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) from July 1986 to May 1994, in both uniformed and plain clothes duty. While assigned to the US Justice Department's New York Drug Enforcement Task Force, he was one of two case agents responsible for overseeing one of the most substantial narcotic investigations in the history of the department, resulting in the conviction of more than sixty members of the Cali Cartel.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Commissioner of NYC Department of Correction

Kerik served as Commissioner of the New York City Department of Correction, a position to which he was appointed on January 1, 1998.^{[citation needed]} He was responsible for an annual budget of $835 million, a civilian and uniformed workforce of 13,000 and 133,000 annual inmate admissions in the Department’s 16 jails, 15 court detention pens and four hospital prison wards, including Rikers Island.

He was credited with the creation of the Total Efficiency Accountability Management System (TEAMS), a management analysis and accountability program that placed as a finalist for the Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government Award, for Innovations in American Government for year 2000. Through TEAMS, the Department witnessed historic performance gains in virtually all areas of jail operations as a result of many new initiatives in violence reduction, overtime reduction, modernization of security equipment, an absence rate analysis program and others.

During his tenure, the Department developed a gang intelligence unit and gang tracking database, networking with local, state and federal authorities across the country. Inmate violence--defined as inmate-on-inmate stabbing and slashing incidents—were reduced by 93% FY ‘95 to FY ’99. Similarly, overtime spending in FY ‘99 decreased 45% from FY ‘95 and the uniform sick rate dropped for the same period 25%. These achievements occurred during a period when the inmate population rose to record levels, from 110,410 admissions in FY ‘94 to 133,000 in FY ‘99, a 25% increase.

He previously served for three years as the Department of Correction's First Deputy Commissioner and, prior to that, as the agency's Executive Assistant to the Commissioner and Director of the Investigations Division. In December 1997, he was appointed by the Mayor to the New York City Gambling Control Commission. Kerik also chaired the Michael Buczek Foundation's annual fund-raiser that honors law enforcement across the nation.

[edit] New York City Police Commissioner

Kerik was appointed the 40th New York City Police Commissioner by Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani on August 21, 2000. He left office at the end of Giuliani's term on December 31, 2001. More than half of mayor Giuliani's cabinet opposed Kerik's appointment. Kerik's lack of a college degree was among the cabinet's major concerns.^[14] Possession of a college degree was a requirement established in 1985 by then-Commissioner Benjamin Ward for anyone promoted above the rank of Captain.

As the leader of the largest municipal police department in the United States, Commissioner Kerik oversaw a uniformed force of more than 41,000 police officers, a civilian force of more than 14,500 which included the 3,500 member School Safety Division, 2,000-member Traffic Control Division, and 3,500 member Auxiliary Police Division, and an annual budget of more than $3.2 billion. Under Kerik's 16 month term as Commissioner, violent crime in New York City registered its biggest drop in five years in 2001, a decline all the more startling because it came as the violent crime rates in many other cities around the country were increasing. Giuliani gave much of the credit for the drop in 2001 to his police commissioner, "Commissioner Kerik took over a Police Department that was leading the country in crime declines, he said, and somehow he was able to figure out how to create even more crime reduction and to do that against a national trend in which crime is going up in much of the rest of the country.

Known in the department as the "beat-cop commissioner", Kerik frequently cruised the city at night with a security detail composed of cops who have been in shootouts, dangled from rooftops, been hit by bullets, raced into burning buildings and seen their partners die. During his time as police commissioner he made five arrests including one involving two ex- convicts - one a paroled killer, wanted for a carjacking at gunpoint in Virginia - for allegedly driving a stolen van in Harlem.

As Police Commissioner, Kerik served on the Terrorism Committee with the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Criminal Justice Advisory Board for St. John's University.

[edit] Attack on the World Trade Center

Kerik was serving as Police Commissioner during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, when at approximately 8:48 a.m., and again at 9:03 a.m., two hijacked, passenger-occupied Boeing 767 airliners, piloted by terrorists, were intentionally flown into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center. He was responsible for overseeing the Police Department's law enforcement response and investigation of the attack.

Kerik was in his office when the first attack occurred and arrived at the base of Tower I about three minutes before United Airlines Flight 175 slammed into Tower II, showering him and his staff with debris from the burning building and plane. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani arrived within minutes afterward and the two men walked to a temporary command post on West Street to meet with senior police and fire personnel who later died when the buildings collapsed.

The NYPD was placed on Condition Omega, the City's highest alert; existing duty charts were immediately suspended with uniformed personnel performing 12 hour tours of duty with regular days off suspended. The NYPD Command and Control Center was operational by 9:45 a.m. Lower Manhattan, south of 14th Street from the Hudson to the East River, was frozen and accessible to emergency personnel only.

When the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Police Commissioner Kerik and their top aides were trapped inside a building at 75 Barclay St. According to the New York Daily News, Kerik, along with his first deputy commissioner, the chief of department and other top brass were all in close proximity to the burning towers, and dodged rubble and debris as the structures fell.

Between Tuesday, September 11 and Tuesday, September 26, a total of 863 bomb threats were called into 911. During the same period the prior year, only 69 similar calls were received

On Tuesday, September 18, Kerik attended a ceremony in which Governor George Pataki signed legislation into law, five new sections to the New York State Penal Law and one to the New York State Criminal Procedure Law, to address terrorist-related activity. Kerik also established the New York Metropolitan Committee on Counter Terrorism, responsible for reviewing existing security measures, technology, information exchange protocols and levels of cooperation among the participating agencies and developing recommendations for improving, facilitating and expediting the same throughout the current national crisis.

The New York City Police Department lost 23 Police Officers on the morning of 9/11. The New York City Fire Department lost 343 Firefighters and the Port Authority Police of NY & NJ lost 37 Police Officers. More than 2,000 civilians died as well.

[edit] The WTC American Flag

At 0530AM on the morning of September 12, 2001, New York City Police Sergeant Gerald Kane and Detective Peter Friscia, both assigned Commissioner Kerik’s Office, were assisting rescue teams at the heart of the World Trade Center site, at “Ground Zero.” They noticed that the large American flag that flew in front of the World Trade Center at Church Street had been blown off of the flagpole during the implosion of the buildings and was tangled upside down on a streetlight several feet away.

The two men recruited a number of soldiers and firefighters in the area who hoisted a ladder to the top of the streetlight. Detective Friscia climbed the rungs of the ladder to the top, untangled and retrieved the flag and brought it down to the ground. Commissioner Kerik later released the flag to NASA officials and it was transported onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor (STS-108) as part of its December 5-17, 2001 mission to the International Space Station.

On Flag Day, June 14, 2002, the American flag that flew at the World Trade Center on the morning of 9/11 was returned to the people of New York City by Mr. Sean O’Keefe of NASA and Commander Dom Gorie and the crew members of the Space Shuttle Endeavor (STS-108), in a moving ceremony at the Rose Center at the American Museum of Natural History.

Today, this flag is secured and maintained by New York City’s Commissioner of Records and is part of the annual 9/11 ceremony at Ground Zero.

[edit] Interim Minister of Interior of Iraq

Bernard Kerik with a security detail in Iraq during his tenure as Interim Minister of Interior in 2003.

In May 2003, during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Kerik was appointed by the George W. Bush Administration as the Interim Minister of Interior of Iraq and Senior Policy Advisor to the U.S. Presidential Envoy to Iraq, L. Paul Bremer III. He was responsible for reconstituting the Iraqi Ministry of Interior which had dissolved into the community during the U.S. led coalition's invasion of Iraq. The Iraq Interior consisted of the National Police, Intelligence Service and Border and Customs Police.

In Rajiv Chandrasekaran's book on Iraq, Imperial Life in the Emerald City, Kerik was said to be arrogant, incompetent, and undedicated in his position.

Kerik was also criticized by George Packer in his book, Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq.^[15]:

"He [Army Lt. Colonel in charge of Kirkuk reconstruction] was afraid that the new Kirkuk police force, which the battalion he commanded had already set up, would have to be scrapped when Bernard Kerik - the colorful former New York police chief - finally got around to announcing his national plan. Instead, Kerik spent his time in Baghdad going on raids with South African mercenaries while his house in New Jersey underwent renovation. He went home after just three months, leaving almost nothing behind, while the Lt. Colonel spent almost a year in Kirkuk."

But in Bremer’s book, “My Year in Iraq”, Bremer calls Kerik “streetwise and no-nonsense”, highlighting Kerik’s concerns over the first car bombing of the Jordanian Mission and the lack of qualified and trained Iraqi Police Officers. Kerik called the police officers of “poor quality”, and noted that some may be ok, but they don’t have any real training, lack equipment, and sure the hell are not attuned to modern police techniques”.

Retired US Army General Ricardo Sanchez also criticized Kerik's performance in Iraq, stating:

"I would be hard-pressed to identify a major national-level success that his organization accomplished in that time. They'd get tips and they'd go and actually raid a whorehouse. Their focus becomes trying to do tactical police operations in the city of Baghdad, when in fact there is a much greater mission that they should be doing, which is training the police. He is a very energetic guy. He is very confident - overconfident to an extent - and he is very superficial in his understanding of the requirements of his job. His whole contribution was a waste of time and effort."^[16]

In response, Kerik stated, "I wasn't a big fan of General Sanchez because he had no respect for the Iraqi police who were courageous enough to return to work when others fled," Kerik told The New York Daily News. "He refused to see them as partners in combating the war-torn violence that was crippling Iraq, and as a result, there was constant strife." "The U.S. military police and coalition troops on the ground worked great with the Iraqis," he said. "It's too bad they didn't have that same relationship at the top." Kerik denied arresting any prostitutes in Iraq and said the Army always knew about his operations. "If we didn't notify them it's because they were involved in the operation," he said.

In a United Nations UNODC Fact Finding Report Mission Report dated 5-18-2003, Kerik was cited as leading a small "International Policing Team", to restructure and rebuild the Iraqi Police and Ministry of Interior. They noted that the team made "positive interventions in a number of areas", but were under "no illusions about the magnitude of the reforms and work required" moving forward. Because Iraq had suffered from years of authoritarian rule, conflict and isolation, failure to pursue the necessary reforms with speed and resources, could result in serious consequences for the development of democracy and economic prosperity in Iraq.

[edit] The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States

On May 18, 2004, Mr. Kerik testified before the 9/11 Commission in New York City. He concluded his testimony with a list of lessons learned or recommendations, making the following points:

• First, emergency operations centers, with an Office of Emergency Management responsible for its operations, similar to the one in New York City, are essential, not only to coordinate operations in the event of a crisis but also for planning purposes. Relationships and response plans must be well established, before an emergency occurs – you just can’t make them happen in the midst of a crisis.

• Second, success in securing our homeland requires accurate and real time intelligence that is shared with all necessary stakeholders, whether they are at the local, state or federal level. There must be internal monitoring systems that will insure efficiency and accountability with regard to information sharing and communications. A culture change in intelligence and information sharing is essential and those that refuse to change must be removed. There can be no compromise.

• Third, this culture change has begun, assisted through the provisions of the Patriot Act. This law contains many provisions, particularly with respect to information sharing, that better enable law enforcement to continues its fight against terrorism. Thus, the Act should be continued.

• We should create a mechanism to hold countries accountable that promote terrorism against the United States. Such countries constitute a legitimate threat against Americans, both here and abroad.

• Finally, I believe our battles have only just begun. Removing the Taliban and the Al-Qaeda leadership from Afghanistan --- and Saddam and his regime from Iraq, were just the beginning in addressing the real threats against us. We must stand firm, stay pre-emptive and never believe for one minute that this war is over. And to those who would say that our actions in Iraq or Afghanistan have only worsened the threats against us, or to the Spanish who believe their involvement in Iraq resulted in the train bombings in Madrid, I ask: Why us on September 11, 2001.

"They brought this war to us, and it is a war we cannot afford to lose. I ask the members of this Commission to put politics aside, put our freedom first and give us the ammunition we need to continue the battle before us. For without it…we lose".

[edit] Politics

Upon his return from Iraq, Kerik was extremely politically active, campaigning for Republican candidates for political offices at all levels, including speaking at the 2004 Republican National Convention, where he endorsed George W. Bush for re-election.

Kerik has been an outspoken supporter for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, calling for aggressive sanctions against Iran and Syria for their support of state sponsored terror.

[edit] Consulting work

Following his departure from the New York City Police Department, he was employed by Giuliani Partners, a consulting firm formed by the former Mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani. He served as a Senior Vice President at Giuliani Partners and as Chief Executive Officer of Giuliani-Kerik LLC, an affiliate of Giuliani Partners. Kerik resigned from these positions in December, 2004. Kerik is currently the Chairman of The Kerik Group LLC, a consulting firm specializing in Crisis Management and Risk Mitigation, Counter-Terrorism and Law Enforcement and Jail/Prison Management strategies. He has served as an advisor and consultant to His Majesty King Abdullah II of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and to President Bharrat Jagdeo of the Republic of Guyana. He has overseen threat and vulnerability assessments for a ruling family in the United Arab Emirates and has also worked on crime reduction and national security strategies in Trinidad & Tobago and Mexico City, Mexico.

[edit] Nomination as U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security

On December 3, 2004, Kerik was nominated by President Bush to succeed Tom Ridge as United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales vetted Kerik during that nomination period.^[17] But on December 10, after a week of press scrutiny, Kerik withdrew acceptance of the nomination. Kerik stated that he had unknowingly hired an undocumented worker as a nanny and housekeeper who had used someone else's social security number. Similar violations of immigration law had previously caused the withdrawal of the nominations of Linda Chavez as Secretary of Labor by George W. Bush and of Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood as Attorney General by President Bill Clinton.

Shortly after withdrawal of the nomination, the press reported on several other incidents which might also have posed difficulties in gaining confirmation by the Senate. These include: questions regarding Kerik's sale of stock in Taser International shortly before the release of an Amnesty International report critical of the company's stun-gun product; a sexual harassment lawsuit; an alleged affair with Judith Regan; allegations of misuse of police personnel and property for personal benefit; connections with a construction company suspected of having ties to organized crime; and failure to comply with ethics rules on gifts.^[18]

[edit] Awards and honors

Considered one of the most decorated Police Commissioners in the history of the New York City Police Department, he earned 30 medals for excellent, meritorious and heroic service, including the New York City Police Department Medal of Valor for his involvement in a gun battle in which his partner was shot and wounded and he returned fire, downing the suspect. Other medals included 1 Honorable Mention, 5 Commendations, 10 Meritorious Police Duty and 13 Excellent Police Duty medals.

Mr. Kerik received a U. S.

He was also appointed Knight Commander, of the Military Constantinian Order of St. George by the Duke of Calabria, Italy. He received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, the Mayor’s Medal of Honor from the City of Paterson, New Jersey and a Mayor’s Meritorious Commendation from the City of Passaic, New Jersey, all for heroism. He earned the Medal of Merit from the New Jersey State Police Benevolent Association and the Medal for Valor from the International Narcotics Enforcement Officers Association.

Other honors have included: The New York State Senate Liberty Award, the Golden Star Leadership Award, Los Angeles, California; Special Achievement Award, Special Narcotics Prosecutor's Office, City of New York; Man of the Year Award, Honor Legion, Police Department – City of New York; Man of the Year Award, Detective’s Endowment Association, Police Department – City of New York; Man of the Year Award, Brooklyn Law School, LELSA; 2 Distinguished Service Awards, U.S. Department of Homeland Security; DEA Administrator's Award, U.S. Department of Justice, DEA; Distinguished Person of the Year, NYC Correction Captains Association; Distinguished Service Award, New York Shields; Distinguished Service Award, New York City Retired Detective's Association; Dedication and Commitment Award, NYC Correction Officer’s Association and the President’s Appreciation Award, NYC Correction Guardians Association.

He is a 5th Degree Master Instructor in the Martial Arts, studying both Korean and Japanese Karate and has been inducted into The Centurion Black Belt Hall of Fame.

[edit] Investigation results

On June 30, 2006, after an eighteen month investigation conducted by the Bronx District Attorney's Office, Kerik plead guilty to two ethics violations (unclassified misdemeanors) and was ordered to pay $221,000 in fines at the 10-minute hearing.

Kerik acknowledged that he failed to document a personal loan on his annual New York City Conflict of Interest Report (a violation of the New York City Administrative Code) and accepting a gift from a New Jersey construction firm attempting to do business with the city, (a violation of the New York City Charter). During the court hearing, the Assistant Bronx District Attorney stated that "although some may draw inferences from this plea, there is no direct evidence of an agreement between Kerik and the New Jersey construction firm". Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg immediately removed Kerik's name from the Manhattan Detention Complex, a New York jail that had been renamed in Kerik's honor on December 21, 2001 by Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani.^[19]

Subsequently, on July 20, 2006, the two New Jersey contractors were indicted on perjury charges, accused of lying to the Bronx grand jury in the Kerik investigation.^[20]

On November 8, 2007, in White Plains, New York, Kerik was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy, tax fraud and making false statements. Prosecutors say Kerik received about $255,000 in renovations to his Riverdale, Bronx, apartment from a company seeking to do business with the city of New York and concealed the income from the Internal Revenue Service.^[21] The indictment also charges Kerik made several false statements to the White House (in his background information statement regarding his Department of Homeland Security appointment) and other federal officials. If convicted on all 16 counts in the indictment, Kerik could face a maximum sentence of 142 years in prison and $4.7 million in fines. He was released upon payment of a $500,000 bond.^[22][23]

Philosophy

Giuliani Partners LLC is dedicated to helping leaders solve critical strategic issues, accelerate growth, and enhance the reputation and brand of their organizations in the context of strongly held values. Giuliani Partners' professional guidance to leaders is based on six fundamental principles:

Integrity -- Integrity requires carefully developing and upholding a set of inviolable beliefs. People of integrity are not inflexible, but their decisions are made in the context of strongly held values. Principled leaders must not only set a moral compass, but also effectively communicate a code of conduct to those they lead. They are obligated to remain faithful to their core convictions in order to demand and inspire the same in others.

Optimism -- Optimism in leadership is envisioning the best possible outcome for a situation and convincing the people around you to put forth their best effort in obtaining that outcome. The effectiveness of optimism plays on the human inclination to work toward an achievable goal. People believe in leaders who have strong convictions and confidence. The optimism of a leader directly contributes to an organization’s ability to succeed. Optimism, coupled with steadfast resolve, conveys a culture of confidence and helps organizations move successfully toward a common goal.

Courage -- Whether on a daily basis or in times of crisis, organizations look to their leaders for courage in the face of adversity. Courage is the strength to act on strong beliefs, whatever the risk. When leaders remain steadfast in their adherence to principles, regardless of professional jeopardy, they generate confidence, loyalty and respect from their peers, employees, and clients. In today’s business climate, executives must have the courage to enact corporate governance initiatives that curtail excess and uphold the interests of customers, shareholders and employees. Without bold leadership, companies suffer from a lack of effective management, stakeholder trust, and ultimately, profitability.

Preparedness -- Being prepared requires constant vigilance and foresight. Preparedness applies not only to the effective execution of operations, but also to the assurance that operations continue smoothly through any type of event. Organizations face an ever-changing series of threats to their future. That is why it is essential to identify existing threats quickly and review the processes and procedures in place to combat those threats. Careful preparation for every event that can be anticipated enhances preparation for the unanticipated.

The public and private sectors face a multitude of risks and challenges stemming from terrorism, crime, natural disasters, market performance, and countless other factors that threaten an organization’s ability to survive. Governments are already taking steps to protect civilians and businesses from the effects of a variety of threats. The private sector can do more to prepare to secure its personnel, assets, and future. Relentless preparation develops a culture of responsibility and awareness.

Communication -- Effective management of any organization requires clear goals and internal communication, both vertically and horizontally, in collective pursuit of those goals. In order to make well-informed decisions, a leader should delegate and understand the roles of each segment of his or her organization. Through relentless preparation and reliable, frequent communication, a leader can achieve this level of comprehension, which will aid in coordinating the efforts of his or her team. Access and modesty in a leader improve worker morale and provide incentives for employees to work toward a clear and common goal.

Accountability -- Accountability means measuring results throughout an organization and holding people responsible for their performance. The ability to measure performance accurately is critical to any organization looking to improve efficiency and ensure success. A system of measurement motivates employees and decision-makers alike. Accountability enables leaders to identify problems more effectively and make solutions pervasive throughout an organization.
