The key point in this clip from Episode 2 is if you come to a CEO with a decision you should make yourself, learn from that feedback. Don't bring complaints about another staff member to the CEO. This is not elementary school. Take your problems with a person to the person and learn how to communicate. It cannot be the CEO's job to intervene in every small issue. Sometimes when it's done a different way, big policies are created to avoid tiny mistakes. It's a waste of time. Work out the issues and learn from them. Listen to the full episode with Rob May.
