[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

If I say so myself -- I killed;)  Really, presentation went really well.  I just removed his content and thanked him for his collaboration.

Some of the comments here have been so interesting.  I understand some of the feedback about my boss's original request of this guy basically being "asking a co-exec to do secretarial work."  At the risk of too many details for this forum -- I, too, originally thought this was just an admin/IT thing -- and was surprised that another exec was asked (and was given the work.)

But, again, info I didn't include before: the whole point of this presentation was b/c this same exec had *excluded* me from another peer's presentation (that impacted my division) and I found out about it last week.

I suspect that my boss and this exec knew that this presentation needed to "match" up with that presentation…and they were caught-red-handed about not having gotten my participation/input on that presentation.  I realized this when one of the exec's edits to *my* presentation was to link to that other presentation.  I think it was a CYA on their part.

I think it was sleazy all around.

But, you know what, I edited my presentation back to what it needed to be…presented the hell out of it…rose about it all.  Our CEO sat in unexpectedly…so all's well.

And…I'll keep a smile on my face with this exec (and my sneaky boss)…but my memory is long.[/quote]

Awesome. I think you handled it well.   Good job.

If I were in your position, if someone asked me why I went back to the original - I would play dumb and say something about how the extra information they inserted needs to be vetted and verified blah blah blah .. and how they didn't give you enough time blah blah blah... but you'd be sure to include those issues in the next presentation blah blah blah[/quote]
