How much leeway do you give her for being out of her element? That's part of the point of these hearings, to put people under extreme pressure and play gotcha.
- dekhn 3y agoA harvard president gets no leeway in this context; they are expected to be absolutely perfect, handling gotchas with aplomb. She was just not qualified for this.
- gretch 3y agoI don’t consider this to be out of element for a president. She tried to outplay the gotcha game, which is why she did poorly. Instead she should have come in and said “At Harvard this is what we believe - …”. Being able to state the values of your organization is core skill for the president and leader of the school. It should be down pat, a solid set of words that ring true and inspire. If you can’t do that, then let’s find someone who can. That’s the difference between leaders and managers.
