But that's rarely the case; it would be up to producers/managers to do such tasks, while directors remain focused on pushing ahead with the creative process. In a company known for lacking the aforementioned roles, the process might even be more complicated, but it certainly doesn't fall on the director's plate.
Anybody can see they have a management problem, resulting in crunch and other undesired circumstances (as with so many other companies); yet all that is disconnected from direction, or the usual function of a director. It's all the same as it takes the conversation back to an earlier point: nobody judges the process, only what the team aimed to achieve at the start and what they obtained in return, under the direction of a particular individual.
Many directors have been true SoBs, but they got the best work out there, and that's all that matters until the conversations changes.
