Acronyms!

The bigger the company, the higher use of acronyms.

Half the people who say this don't know what paradigms are.

I don't think I've ever seen one result out of a SWOT analysis, be it positive or negative. Other than annoying the piss out of those subjected to one.

Oh God this. What it means is, "I have no idea what I'm talking about, don't know any details, hell I don't even know if this will work, but it is your job to make my hair brained idea happen. Ok I'm off to the golf course. Hasta la vista bitches."

I created a bingo card with corporate buzz words that our company uses. We bust it out during every online all-employee meeting and that thing gets filled up really fast.

The word pool for game is...

Engaged
Agile
Efficiency
Integrate
Development
Initiative
Cloud
Excited
Capability
Synergy
Involved
Morale
Disruptive
Backlog
Culture
Knowledge transfer
Focus
Analytics
Lean
Layoffs
Challenge
Grow
Leverage
Communication
Optimization
Affordability
Efficiency
Risk
Innovation
Positioning
Future
Impact

F.R.A.T.

Focus - if everything is important, nothing is important.

Routine - have you developed a daily routine that will drive the business forward?

Accountability - both positive and negative. coach in private, praise in public.

Training - re-invest in your employees, maintain competitive advantages.
