Even just demonstrating "being a good manager" is better than we've had with Kenney.
Also, do you really think she's a "bridge burner" ? I don't feel informed enough to say one way or the other, but I don't think her PPD audit was "burning bridges" despite McNesby's hilarious next-day comments (where even he acknowledged she made good points). I thought her office's report was very diplomatic and constructive, placing plenty of the fault for the PD's shortcomings on fixable issues like staffing and process, instead of blaming certain people. I don't know how the report has been received by PPD brass or officers, though. If saying anything publicly about PPD even if mostly apologetic while slightly critical is "bridge burning" well then fuck I guess we're doomed to let PPD dictate our politics.
For me at least, I'm encouraged by her seeming to be diplomatic, professional, competent, engaged, and mission-driven. And yes we've only seen her demonstrate that in a few roles but those seem like skills that will transfer well.
