[QUOTE="newfie, post: 5963079, member: 58700"] argumentative you know the answer to your question. Her responses in front of congress showed a blatant lack of basic management skill. a few thoughts on that: 1) she would not in her position review every advance plan but she should periodically review one to let her people know she looks. It does not appear she did so and she certainly did not speak to what she has audited nor what she could speak to on this particular issues. 2) no communication. she should have held daily press conferences to speak to what has been discovered and what actions she is taking. Not doing so leads to speculation of a cover up. 3) she should have flown out to the site immediately and reviewed the entire site. In management those who are most effective are those who subscribe to a simple motto "go look" or another version more famous "trust but verify". when something is screwed up or has been screwed up go look and see if what you're people are telling you is accurate. 4) Her direct answers to questions what few there were do not give the impression that she fully understood the advance team processes. Her background does not appear to show advance team experience but a variety of supporting roles in the time she served in the ranks of the secret service. While that could be a handicap to her in her current role she could have overcome that by spending more time with the advance teams on their missions. presidential details are the bread and butter of the secret service and one she should have made sure she knew and understood intimately.
