Communicating and change management

January 24, 2010 · Posted in Change management 

‘Facetime’, ‘fokussieren’ and many more…

It’s normal that each area of life has its own specific terms. The Financial Times Deutschland collected some of the words and phrases that are less meaningful than others. They are the kind of words that you can use in meetings if you want to sound as if you know what you are talking about.

But beware – these particular words and phrases are empty of meaning!

More seriously, it has been shown that managers who rely too much on buzzwords like these are less well regarded than people who use clear and concise language.

It’s not only what you say, it’s the way you say it.
