So, the board of directors received substantial compensation while failing to take decisive action during the crisis? Instead of addressing the situation head-on, they focused on polishing their résumés, did the bare minimum cleanup, and then moved on. That seems like a clear failure of their responsibilities—could this be considered negligence or even a breach of duty?I hope they were actively working behind the scenes to understand the issue, which might explain the delays in proper communication. Are there any crisis management experts who could potentially provide insight into the typical timeframe required to handle a crisis like this effectively?
