What Gov. Chris Christie Did Right! A lesson in crisis communications

As everyone knows at this point, "Bridgegate" could have cost Chris Christie his run at the next election.

We here at ELPR think every company should watch and learn as Chris Christie is handling this crisis like a pro. He got ahead of the news, he apologized ( big point where), he answered questions, fired staff that needed to be fired, took responsibility … he showed leadership.

Unless we find out he was lying to us, which I doubt is going to happen, he handled this like a pro!
