I think this is a nice opportunity, you can take advantage of it! and as a psychologist; allow me Sir to give you two points on how to do that:

1. First of all, unless your boss didn't refuse to see you; go and start your meeting with him asking the question: "If I am allowed Sir; may I ask you what is making you upset?" And note that he may start talking about it without your question. Listen carefully, interact with him, make comment and be careful about your body language (let your body show your boss that you are interested) and be an active listener. An important piece of advice here; don't look careless, and careful pay attention, he'll move his anger on you if you showed him the cold ice.

2. Find a way to talk about what you came for, from a topic you are discussing while he is talking about what makes him upset. For example; he was upset on an employee who keeps asking to leave during the work hours, and lets say that you have to ask him to leave for a very important appointment.

You can say this: "Sir, I know how bad you feel about (the employee's name) that he really crossed his lines asking you to leave, and I really hope that he quit that and no one else upset you again. But you know Sir; as employees we all still have some circumstances oblige us to leave during the working hours; and am sure; our wise boss wont allow a careless employee to be a standard for all of us. And I am deeply sorry that I have (name exactly what is the reason you are asking to leave), but I would really appreciate it if you tell me how can I do what I have to do out of the working hours, excuse me Sir; but I just can't help it that I would like to learn from your experience, I really.. really don't want to leave, but unless there is no other choice I had to."

Lets say your boss said yes; don't rush out, add some words before you leave; "You are truly the best boss ever; I can't understand how such employees allow themselves to upset you Sir, thank you very much for your precious time, I apology for my colleague's irresponsibility and I wish that this would be the last time someone of us makes you upset."

Hope that was a useful answer! ^_^

If the meeting is  for urgent matter so go ahead as we are in the company to do business  , otherwise it is preffered to come back later not to cancel .

In my opinion, go ahead, since it is a pre-planned visit. Secondly, as a Director General, I am sure he would be prudent enough to deal with different situations and people differently. Thirdly, you never know - may be he is trying to test your response!

I would like to thank your interest in the answer to the question I agree with you a large part, but this depends on the personality of the manager, is it the kind of flex? Does he accept the opinions of others? Is it the kind that gives you the opportunity to speak? If you have a personal accept that I am with you. Imagine if this kind of tyrannical manager? Thanks again

Why not? Why to be afraid of as long as you are doing right things.. Well, even if the situation is worse I would face the problem rather than running away from it.. I would go and meet the GM or whoever the senior management is, listen to him for his concerns, try to explain him the what has happened, what went wrong and what we can do to recover.. I will sincerely implement the necessary steps to make the situation better...

Most of the times senior management is upset when people take them the problems but dont show them the solutions..
