Kill the messenger
Why is it that when a CEO gets his feelings hurt, he responds with the instant blame game? GROW UP man, you are in charge of a company. Get your feelings under control. When you HR leader makes you aware of a situation in the firm, and provides you with some information and options, don’t lash out at HR. It’s my JOB to tell you what’s going on. If I just dumped it in your lap, than it might make sense for you to express frustration by freaking out. But I’m coming to you with a business problem and a solution. Let me do my job, and how about you listen, consider, and THEN react. Don’t accuse me of crazy when you are acting nuts.
