to have used management speak...(lighthearted)

[wowfudge]

When talking to a colleague a few minutes ago, I used the term 'belt and braces'. I need to shoot myself now, don't I?

You need to get into the envelope & push yourself into that there blue sky of thinking

How are you going to deal with your addiction to management speak, going forward?

I think you need a root and branch approach to deal with this.

Im pleased you could reach out to him to touch base

I don't even recognise `belt and braces' as management speak. I thought it was in everyday life normal use.

Is there any hope for me?

Be sure to let your colleague know that if he has any concerns about your management speak he should not hesitate to drop you a line

When shooting yourself, try to do it in a way that gets you more bang for your buck.

may be you need to park that?
or take it offline?
or maybe you need a resource?

Let's toss this one around troops.

belt and braces isn't management speak. it is just a saying. panic over.

Glad to see we're all singing from the same hymn sheet

belt and braces is ancient, don't panic
"Belts and braces (a.k.a. bracers) are meant to hold one's trousers up. Going 'belt and braces' is a double insurance against having them fall down. The figurative use, as a general term for cautiousness, was coined around the mid-20th century."

as long as you don't diarise the shooting, it will be fine

Is that the same as 'finding a window' dementedma?

To be fair, at the end of the day, just take one for the team!

Maybe you were just thinking out of the box

In the marketplace of ideas, where culture is king, and data moves faster than people, where scalable opportunities come from turn-key solutions
(Love that quote!)

Did you remember to get all your ducks in a row, so that you can make sure everyone hits the ground running first thing on Monday? :)

I'm loving this thought shower!

Good approach to get the low hanging fruit and circumvent a deep dive. Just be sure to get that legalised.....

I think you need to re-evaluate your communication, look to externalise your thought process and cascade your original strategy within a matrix approach to managing stakeholders

If you don't adopt a 'belt and braces' approach, you may create silos in the workplace.

Can't have that can we?

OH God, Mimi wins so far, I understood all the others but not that one! (the basic criteria for Proper Management Speak, afaiac)

Hilarious but who comes up with this bullshit do managers have to go o. A special course to learn management speak allmy managers talk like this

I think we need to take a helicopter view and touch base about this offline before going forward
