These wizards of words are comms pros who've spent a good deal of their careers in and around Toronto City Hall.So who better to assess Olivia Chow's first year in the Mayor's Chair in Toronto?The consensus is:"Mayor Chow gets along well with others and is very collaborative in her approach.There is room for improvement, however, when it comes to her willingness to take responsibility for her performance. Stop blaming the previous administration. And she implicitly admits to her own leaderhip failures when she publicly blames city staff for shortcomings or bureaucratic bungles.The Mayor could also spend more time reviewing briefs on issues of the day.In keeping with the Olympic season, the Mayor was awarded one Silver, one Bronze and two "failed to make the podiums".
