“Dear Stan,
Our organization, like many others, is experiencing very difficult economic challenges. So far we’ve been able to not let anyone go, but money is tight and we’re all trying to do more with a lower budget. We don’t know how much worse it’s going to get. As a board member, I’m thinking it would be useful to survey our staff, to see how they’re feeling about the company’s mission, get their view of our capacity constraints and assess their readiness for changes in our organizational structure. What do you think about the survey approach for this purpose?
Signed,
Without Clues”
Dear Clueless,
