Never corner an executive on an airplane. 

I was furious and cornered the second-most powerful person in my company in an airplane, telling him what he did wrong and why it was the wrong thing to do.

Boy, was that stupid. 

After licking my wounds and realizing my job was in jeopardy, I apologized and learned exactly why the C-Suite guys weren't talking to the rest of us.

They were deciding who to lay off. 

Listen to learn a better way to confront the powerful people at your office, the ones who make decisions about your job, your department, and the strategy of the company.
