BP Gets a F- for Crisis Communications- public speaking media training
Noted crisis communication expert TJ Walker gives BP’s Tony Hayward a grade of F- for his handling of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Walker says that with no margin for error Hayward did not get out in front of this story and instead is allowing his lawyers to drive the messages that he is delivering.
The result? Aside from a loss of good will from the public, BP has lost 34 billion dollars in market capitalization.

Finally, it is …
Finally, it is wholly disrespectful to refer to him as “Tony.” You have no relation with him and even if you did, I doubt he would give you leave to refer to him by his Christian name. Journalistic convention as well as simple courtesy demands you use his surname. Your ignorance of this simple protocol belies your professed expertise as a “media trainer.”

Please stop wasting …
Please stop wasting 4 minutes of your audience’s time with what was truly only one minute of pale analysis. I will add that had Mr. Hayward been giving press conferences “every hour” he would scarcely have time to attend to his primary duty – cleaning up the mess.
