Specifically, how to deliver it. That’s one of the topics that Paul Venables was asked to cover for Fast Company’s newest online feature, “30 Second MBA.” The idea is to tap leaders from various industries for their personal perspective on all kinds of business leadership issues, including “how to deliver bad news.” Venables’ response, which includes what he calls a ‘secret weapon’ can be found here.
