My good friend sent me this - a snippet of his conversation with his boss who happens to be an irreverent American corporate guy

Me : I have a meeting with President , APJ on SEA market penetration. I do have a question on pricing strategy

Our man: No, don’t ask that question. Remember you are talking to president, APJ

Me: huh ,,, mmmm

Our man: it is like staring at sunlight directly. Request VP ,through his secretary, to ask that question

Me: what if they don’t understand and ask the wrong question

Our man: right guy asking the wrong question is better than wrong guy asking the right question ….
