Flurry of Inactivity

摘要

It wont be long before snow starts to fall again. And as the weather cools, it reminds me of the blizzard that struck the New York City area last December and a lesson it can teach leaders everywhere. In the wake of a 20-inch snowfall, Manhattan streets were plowed quickly, but streets in the outer boroughs remained unplowed for days. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg apologized, promised a thorough post-mortem of the poor municipal response, and then demoted and reassigned three people. The mayor's approval ratings fell to the lowest point of his administration.
