Zeitland from Wheeling's consulting asked employees to be brutally honest while giving scoring and feedback about their managers.

FEMA’s predecessors, including parts of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation during the Roosevelt administration and the Federal Disaster Assistance Administration during the 1960s and 1970s, had for decades worked to provide disaster relief. Then, during the Cold War, it became responsible for planning to help the nation recover in case of nuclear attack. The agency became FEMA in 1979, but its very different responsibilities never did fit neatly together. It had the tough job of acting like a local fire department--it needed to be ready to respond instantly to a wide range of disasters, wherever they might occur.
