Every year I like to express my appreciation to the spouses and significant others of my management team. I know that they often share the burden of iRobot imperatives that keep their loved ones late at the office or toiling over the weekend. We enjoyed a very memorable dinner at the Salt Box Farm where the evening started with a cooking demonstration. We retired to the intimate one-table dining room in the restored farmhouse for the main course and lively conversation. Best of all, one of my direct reports brought his 6-week-old daughter which I selfishly monopolized for much of the evening.
