个人倾向于安知鱼的论点 - 尽量不要越权。但不越权并不代表不take Initiative. 关键是keep your boss informed, 并且尽量把决定权给你的Boss。对于initiative，可以提出建议，对于问题可以给出不同的option，and suggest solution and share your reasoning. Ask your boss for perspectives and thoughts. 当然如果你的位置较高，那对你在独立make decision方面也较高。但Timely informing仍然很重要。

Exactly, even CxO is an employee (Company gives you the cap of executive today, it can also take it away tomorrow).For family controlled company, if you have the strong backup from the person having the same last name as the company, maybe you're secured.
Other than that, better be professional... If I were him(her), I would throw the papers back on your face. Nothing to do with capacity or competency. This is definitely the wrong way of communication.
