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?

[MagratsHair]

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

[SirChenjin]

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

[FiftyShadesOfGreen4205]

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

[jeanmiguelfangio]

Im pleased you could reach out to him to touch base

[IsItMeOr]

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?

[CompletelyStumped]

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

[MagratsHair]

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

[OhILoveAGoodNameChange]

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

[chockbic]

Let's toss this one around troops.

[ThinkAboutItTomorrow]

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

[wowfudge]

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

[SarcyMare]

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."

[dementedma]

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

[wowfudge]

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

[InkleWinkle]

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

[Manda472]

Maybe you were just thinking out of the box

[Absofrigginlootly]

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!)

[tiggerkid]

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? :)

[wowfudge]

I'm loving this thought shower!

[happygirl87]

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

[MimiSunshine]

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

[PookBob]

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

Can't have that can we?

[Thumbwitch]

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

[x2boys]

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

[Absofrigginlootly]

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