About the Meeting:
Many engineering managers
think presenting to upper management is simply going in there and telling
like it is! However it is only after they enter the lions’ den, they
realize these are a special breeds of cats. Presenting to
upper management requires a tactful approach and there are definitely some
do and don’ts if you want to come across correctly.
This presentation will address those common do and don’ts so you
will not have learn the hard way in front of upper management!
This is especially true when presenting bad news!
