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..."
我猜想在每個辦公室或者工作場所都有那么一些人整天嘴里都掛著“管理術語”。舉個例子:“在我們進行下一步之前,我們必須先與我們的利益相關者建立起穩(wěn)固的關系,這樣我們才能深入洞察到那些還不在我們掌握范圍內(nèi)的關鍵事情,并且起到事半功倍的效果......”聽到以上這些“管理錦句”,是否讓你想起了你工作中遇到的某個人?
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.
你一定見過這樣的人,他們講的東西都是一套套空洞無味的大話和套話?你所參加的會議是不是由于充滿了無數(shù)隱晦的行話,而讓人無法理解它的真實意思?我認為這些“管理術語”最大的毛病就是它們顯得太矯揉造作,使聽者感到厭倦,而常常起到相反的效果,讓聽眾無法理解它所想要表達的涵義。
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!
