老板怎么办?

Mr Dezenhall has lots of practical advice.He tells CEOs to restrict the view into their glass houses: to cover thecameras on their phones and computers with masking tape; avoid the “reply all”function on their email; think twice before sending any strong worded message. Hewarns against one-size-fits-all approaches to crises: the common prescriptionto come clean quickly and fully sometimes stokes the fire, he notes.

参考译文：MrDezenhall有很多实用性的建议。他告诉CEO们要遮住他们的“玻璃屋”：用胶带封住手机和电脑的摄像头;避免使用电子邮件的回复全部功能;在发送任何严词激烈的信息前要思考一下。他同时发出警告反对使用万能的解决危机的办法：他注意到，人通常使用地快速和完全坦白的方法有时候反而会激化矛盾。
