I was a senior officer at a fortune 500 company for many years. Although we prepared thousands of reports over the years, our CEO and CFO never read any of it and preferred to be briefed orally. If you passed out anything during the presentation they would give it back at the end of the meeting. Busy people don’t have time to read and prefer to get oral updates. At least, that was the way with all the people I ever worked for, and they were extremely smart people.
I am an old fashioned guy who would much prefer an oral report so that I can ask questions, than sit at the desk and read. An oral report with a written report for reference purposes is ideal, IMO.
You are correct. His attendance was like around 40 percent if my memory serves. Unlike Bush, who almost never missed a briefing. Personally, I'd rather people tell me what's going on, while I have a hard copy to review. That's how I would do it.
I would go with oral. Form the team and discuss the issurs
I see what you did there.
three kinds of learning means: doing, reading, listening ...
Being briefed orally allows questions and answers - more interactive and potentially more informative.

Exactly!!!!!!!
Wait...didn’t Obama do much the same thing...
so I can’t understand why reading is so difficult for him.

You are assuming something that is not true. Difficult? I don’t think so.
Isn’t the Hill conservative?

Are you kidding? It’s just another Dem mouthpiece.
Bill Clinton went with oral and look what happened.
Exactly.
Thank you! You are the best! Have a great weekend!!!!
Silly girl! What difference would it make if he were dyslexic?
General George Patton, our greatest general, was dyslexic. He too did a lot of things the “experts” said were impossible. Ever hear of Bastogne? The Bulge? Torch? etc. etc. etc.
One of the reasons I am sure Trump favors oral reports is the fact that oral reports save TIME, of which a working president does not have enough.
I was joking. I have no reason to believe Trump is dyslexic.
you are a true moron
Lol, great comeback!
Did mommy help you with it?
Exactly...an oral report REQUIRES presentation of the important points...who writes these anyway?
