[quote=Anonymous]I'm relatively new at my company (2 months). Yesterday, the director of an adjacent team was out sick unexpectedly and I had to handle running a crucial meeting for him. For context, I'm a manager and everyone else in this meeting was c-suite. I basically had to deliver bad news that a new product the company has been developing is not ready to implement as expected per the feedback I've compiled from our end users. Historically, the CTO does not receive less than ideal information well. I worked really hard to prep for the meeting, made slides with the feedback and data I've compiled, and created a roadmap for next steps and how we can triage the features needed to get to implementation as quickly as possible while balancing the needs of our clients.

It went over really, really well.

I was excited to tell my director and he flat out said "Of course negative info is going to land better from a new pretty blonde woman than an old news brown guy". I was pretty taken aback and ended the conversation. Should I go back and talk about it? Or just leave it?[/quote]
