The timing of this article couldn't be more appropriate:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7701962.stm

Some wonderful quotes from the above...

"Reputation is as precious and fragile for the grandest corporation with global reach as it is for the individual. Often won with great difficulty and effort over many years, it can be lost utterly in the moment."

"Secondly, once the crisis is seen for what it really is, one that is gaining traction in the modern media environment, with a lethal momentum to roll beyond control without swift, decisive and appropriate remedial action, do just that. Take swift, decisive and appropriate remedial action. Within minutes."

"Common symptoms for bodies mismanaging a crisis are apologies, where obvious and appropriate, that are still seen to be slow in coming, grudgingly given or issued in stages, despite the rising clamour from stakeholders growing ever louder.

Equally damaging is the appearance that the organisation is being buffeted by events. Worse still, the public perception that its actions are merely reactive, responding to events rather than controlling them."

Thank you for posting the link. Now is there any way to ensure that someone at the management level of LL will read it?

BTW, LL ought to hire the author of the article, Clarence Mitchell.

Great advice, but wrong direction

May I state again, there is almost nothing that will convince me that this was not a preplanned gouge of the consumer base. Do you realize that some of the SIMS are already back up for sale? Do you realize that if you abandon your SIM, it is gone in a few hours.....but getting a discourse with anyone takes days?

Come on......are we really that stupid???????
