Oh, I bet one of the options is 'Bring donuts and hope for the best.' That's the secret executive communication technique, right?

Recommend a solution? Now that's the way to go! Executives love it when you bring them a fix, not just a problem.

Hmm, assuming they have little knowledge? That could come across as condescending. Better to tailor the presentation to their level.

Providing a wide range of facts and figures? That's way too much for busy execs. Keep it concise and to the point.

Yikes, focusing on negative issues first is a sure way to get executives' attention, but probably not in the best way. They've got enough to deal with already.
