[Behavioral Interview] How to Deliver Bad News to Leadership

Delivering bad news to leadership doesn’t have to feel like an “escalation.” 🚨

Here’s the key: BLUFF — Bottom Line Up Front.

Instead of using triggering words like “escalation” or “bad news,” focus on owning your communication. When done right, it’s not bad news—it’s just news. Neutral. Strategic.

💡 Pro Tip: Meet your audience where they are. Leaders think in terms of the forest, not the grass. Start zoomed out with BLUFF to mirror their communication style, then provide concise updates that empower decision-making.
