Without a vision, mission, and goals by which organizations can govern themselves, it is venerable to the personal values, or lack thereof, imposed by administrators. According to John Bryson, an organization that forgets its mission will drift, and opportunism and loss of integrity are likely to spread and perhaps become endemic (Bryson, 2011). This was the case in the City of Bell scandal, which focused on municipal officials involved in acts of negligence and blatant misappropriation of municipal funds for personal use over several years in the late 2000s. Additionally, residents had no standard by which to hold their administrators and officials.
