Three questions to ask yourself before you have a serious conversation with your boss. Sitting in your boss's office, launching into an explanation for why yesterday's presentation was a fiasco, your brain is a minefield of poor word choices and jerry-rigged rationales. They'll help you emerge unscathed from the corner office. Don't dwell on repercussions that you believe are possible, but on the ones that you think are probable. Just before you launch into the conversation, take a deep breath, clear your mind, and focus on why it's important to have this talk.
