Jean-Claude Biver is a wonderfully dynamic individual

A visionary yet practical. A man who welcomes all opinions and criticisms, and utilizes the information to improve the brands where appropriate.
Accountability. This trait is so important, yet so many humans lack it. It is OK to not be perfect, to make mistakes. The ones who succeed in life and better themselves are the ones who embrace shortcomings, personally and professionally.
I do not mean to imply that JCB has many of these issues, he seemingly does not. But your examples in this post highlight the point I am making. He did not hide behind "well, that is how we do it" or "it would be too difficult or expensive to change". No. He instead accepts the issue, even admits he did not notice it himself, and quickly goes about correcting it. It did not take 2 or 3 years, it was fixed in 2 months!
This guy just gets it. I have said it many times, he is a unanimous first ballot Hall of Famer in this industry.
