Top 5 Best Participant Practices
-
ASK FOR HELP
-
No one knows everything​, and that's okay; if you get stuck, ask for a briefing from an expert
-
We are always happy to give you help - we want you to succeed
-
-
WORK TOGETHER
-
The President does not do every job in government - there are people for that​
-
Our simulations are the same; we want you to work with your room and your government to succeed (not alone)
-
-
BE SPECIFIC
-
The more specific your requests are, the more help you will get​ - and the more you will like the result
-
Any information you leave out, you're allowing Control to make up (and won't necessarily benefit you)
-
-
BE PROACTIVE
-
Don't sit around and react to the situation - think proactively​
-
When you receive briefings, consider the long term ramifications, and how you can mitigate the impact
-
-
COORDINATE & COMMUNICATE
-
Don't assume that another office has the same information that you do​
-
The more you coordinate across offices, the more cohesive and successful your strategy will be
-
Participants in the National Security Council consider options for military engagement and humanitarian relief in Iraq.
