I reckon every office or workplace has one of those people that are just full of jargon-ridden management drivel. Does this kind of 'management speak' remind you of someone at your work place: "Before going forward we have to touch base and reach out to our key stakeholders so that we can drill down into the key issues that are not yet on our radar and catch the low-hanging fruits..."
我猜想在每个办公室或者工作场所都有那么一些人整天嘴里都挂着“管理术语”。举个例子:“在我们进行下一步之前,我们必须先与我们的利益相关者建立起稳固的关系,这样我们才能深入洞察到那些还不在我们掌握范围内的关键事情,并且起到事半功倍的效果......”听到以上这些“管理锦句”,是否让你想起了你工作中遇到的某个人?
Are you surrounded by people who annoyingly can't get enough of the management gobbledygook and who utter one jargon buzzword after another? Are your meetings buzzing with so much management lingo that you find it hard to get to the real meaning of what is being said? The problem I have with these phrases is that they sound so pretentious and often are counter-productive because they irritate people so much and deflect from the real meaning.
你一定见过这样的人,他们讲的东西都是一套套空洞无味的大话和套话?你所参加的会议是不是由于充满了无数隐晦的行话,而让人无法理解它的真实意思?我认为这些“管理术语”最大的毛病就是它们显得太矫揉造作,使听者感到厌倦,而常常起到相反的效果,让听众无法理解它所想要表达的涵义。
Below are my top 30 most irritating and overused phrases we hear at work. I am sure you have others that you can add to this list. Let's make it the most comprehensive list of unnecessary management drivel ever - Please add your ones using the comment field!
