We believe in transparency and feedback. Our SurveyMonkey (Password: HBS) is just the beginning! We’ll keep doing easy pulse surveys to hear from you and represent your voice throughout the year. Skeptical? Just remember this, from Jean-Claude Biver (h/t Paul Finnegan, who wrote it down): “By refusing reality, you create a new one. If someone tells you that it is impossible to make a gold watch that won’t scratch, find a new guy who says you can.” We’re thinking outside the box and will find ways to get things done – we’re even trying to get Jean-Claude Biver involved. This Wednesday, February 22nd Vote Allison & Phil – let’s do this. - Allison & Phil
