Everyone tells you to meet with the CEO. However, it seems no one offers any advice on what to SAY when you get to that meeting, what to DO when you get to that meeting, or what to ASK when you get to that meeting.

Nothing can claim more tainted professional reputations, destroyed friendships, and polluted corporate cultures than gossip. In fact, it is my opinion that the worst form of gossip is conducted under the guise of seeking advice or counsel.
