7. I have been through many "team-building" exercises throughout my 30+ year federal career

and this type of thing was generally done with "small groups" of people (e.g., specialized functional groups, supervisors, new employees, etc).

The activity was moderated by a 3rd party in most cases, and responses would be formally compiled, assessments were done and released, and follow-up activities were carried out with the group.

But it was NOT an "agency-wide" or "Department-wide" or in this apparent case, "Division-wide" impersonal "email" that most would assume would go right to a circular file (or I suppose in this case given the environment nowadays, would be used to target employees for removal).

I have no idea how CBS breaks down their organization to the lowest level supervisory groups, but that lowest level of "group" should be where this type of thing happens, NOT having someone "parachute in" with Muskrat-like jargon-filled psycho-babble.
