Slick and mindless communication only reinforces negative beliefs about the competence of Petrotrin's leadership. The senior executive body, not the communications department, has oiled down and undermined its own substantial efforts to contain the situation because of slick talk during this crisis.
It is difficult to accept after 156 years of this country's experience in the business of oil that Petrotrin appeared clueless about the ramifications of an oil spill which started on December 17, 2013. The executive was slick with accusations of sabotage and made troubling statements about its inability to secure every one of its many assets.
What is Petrotrin's executive key priority, if not maintaining the integrity and security of its assets given the following conditions: an energy sector that is critical to the country's economy; the threat of terrorism overshadowing the world since 9/11; high potential for sabotage; the terrible damage arising from bp's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, and crime in this country?
How would it sustain achievement of production output and revenue goals if deteriorated assets compounded by security deficiencies continue to compromise operations?Thus far, Petrotrin has not presented incontrovertible evidence of sabotage, yet it continues to make such allegations. Why not wait for results of forensic investigations?
