Town Hall Transparency

It can be difficult to see things right in front of you if they are transparent or designed to show you some other object.

Case in point, yesterday's Microsoft Town Hall with Chris "Let me buy you breakfast to explain why the market isn't giving us a better P/E ratio" Liddel, Steve "Windows Mobile is on a rocket sled of growth and the iPhone is irrelevant" Ballmer and Lisa "Not earning enough? I guess we're not doing a good job of telling you how much you really earn." Brummel.

Watching those performances make it clear that we still have a long row to hoe before things stop getting worse and start getting better on our leadership front.

Come review time, I wish they were my skip-levels.
