The column said officials often assume professional records alone suffice, yet modern administration requires the ability to explain decisions and maintain public trust.
The article referenced Harvard Business School research linking strong communication skills to higher institutional trust and better crisis management. It cited former U.S. president Ronald Reagan and British prime minister Winston Churchill as leaders who treated communication as central to governance.
The column proposed adding communication ability to criteria for senior appointments alongside technical expertise. It called for regular workshops covering crisis management, media engagement, and public messaging. The author concluded that when communication fails, limited mistakes can grow into larger institutional problems.
