Real communication and a decent PR policy wouldn't hurt the company. There's no denying that this part of the organisation has been left unattended for quite a while, although I think it not unwise to value strategic silence instead of desperately trying to catch half the world's attention.

I have been dealing with a couple of disasters lately and there's a very fitting example we can all relate to: if BP's CEO hadn't been whining - live on television! - about the fact that he wanted his life back, and tried to apologize as any decent CEO would have done, he might have saved at least part of BP's reputation. This idiot's no good at all and everytime he opened his mouth, he took us further away from possible solutions.

So that's why I am a bit preoccupied by strategic silence. Some people should say less, others should probably say more. And I'm not perfect either... smile
