In The Real World Obama Would Have Been Fired By Now

 

In the real world, in a turn around situation, when a new leader inherits a bad situation, the following should be done:

1) Take the high road and don't continually blame your predecessor. It will quickly get stale if you do, those who hired you who are looking forward to positive change. That is why they hired you!

 

2) Surround yourself with good competent people.

 

3) Within the first 6 months come up with a specific turn around plan and make it clear and visible to all concerned. Set realistic, yet needed, goals in order to accomplish the turn around.

 

4) Bring people together cooperatively, eliminate divisiveness. Continually communicate and have regular reviews of progress vs. the goals that were set.

 

5 At the end of the first year there should be some initial progress. Make course corrections if necessary.

 

6) At the end of the 2nd year substantial progress should be shown. Again, course correct as necessary.

 

7) At the end of the 3rd year you should be well on the way to a major positive turn around. Keep it going.

 

Obama has done none of the above. He has relied entirely upon hype, charm, and spin in attempting to try to make people believe that something positive has been done under his leadership. Yet the results speak for themselves. An objective media would have pointed this out. In the real world Obama would have been fired, probably not too long after the first year.
