Stop calling it a scandal. Start calling it a stress test. Watch what happened when the headlines hit. Half the room went silent, deleted the statement, hoped it blows over. That's not strategy. That's freezing and hoping nobody notices. But here's what nobody tells you. The operators who survive aren't the ones with the cleanest record. They're the ones who already decided how they respond before the crisis hit. You're not lazy when you avoid the hard call. You're scared of being wrong in public. Admit that part first. Control the narrative or the narrative controls you.
