[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 849187, member: 282"] I'm not saying that Stansbury is a bad AD. I'm saying he's a bad PR exec. No one person is going to be good at all the tasks that you need coming out of an enterprise. Stansbury has done a lot of work that the AA and GT Athletics needed, and has been an improvement on his predecessors. He's not a great mass communicator, but that's why organizations have other people to put that content together. If you look at successful executives, they might get a little better at their weak spots, [B][I][U]but mainly they get someone else to do the things they're not good at[/U][/I][/B]. I do not expect Olympic weightlifters to set pole vaulting records. It's not what they train for. Even if you're a pretty good communicator, that doesn't mean you're a good communicator in a crisis--those are different skillsets, or at least different levels of skill. Even in PR, there are PR people who specialize in handling PR disasters. The AA has been weak in communications for years. They either don't have enough people to handle mass communications, or they're not doing it well, but this isn't new. The AA needs good PR people right now; in fact, they need specialists. If Stansbury has a failing here, it's a Dunning-Krueger failing. Because he doesn't understand PR, he doesn't know how hard it is, and he thinks he can do it himself. If he did understand it, he'd have brought in a specialist. [/QUOTE]
