Poor Management and Media

The present political hiccups between coalition partners, which is being magnified by, if not even caused by the very same press.

Now let's assume that indeed a clumsy journalist - presuming they are indeed innocent - wrongly publishes some incomplete out-of-context facts, resulting in a bit of a storm in a glass of water. Understanding, that playing the role of an instigator may be very tempting.

What I cannot fully understand is, the lack of co-ordination among the coalition partners themselves, especially when following the SaS (Freedom and Solidarity). 

Being bombarded with confrontations from the outside requires adequate actions; but in a team. Currently, I hear 3 different versions from within one party, including the statements of prime minister Radičová. This is, however, a management failure and a grave risk.

Poor communication between the teams, is not merely a beginner's fault of the new coalition. I have a long list, where a strong misunderstanding of proper PR, poor management coordination and failing communication is rampant here. People plan, and make a lot of assumptions, which you find out at a later stage, that your tasks were much more than initially agreed - in short; failing communication.

As a coincidence, yesterday, when trying to urgently contact a specific person (and yes, in the very same coalition), the secretariat gave me an internet link with the info. This I had googled myself before. That's a role of a secretariat, and thus the contact failed, as I do not have time nor gusto to waste my energy on chasing people.

But a coalition hiccup, magnified by preying eyes of the media is one of the first matters, the coalition partners must effectively tackle and put high on their wish-list without delay. Else Mr Fico will have a great time passively watching the coalition to crumble down.
