Does anyone else find <em><strong>The Apprentice <\/strong><\/em>really stressful? All that anger, angst and bitchiness, and lots of people running around like headless chickens without a clue of what to do or how to interact with each other or work as a team? Thank heavens they don\u2019t want a job with me.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I digress. I caught someone using management speak on the show last night and once again I was well and truly struck by just how awful this language is. A recent article in <em>The Telegraph <\/em>(02.05.13) suggested that this management jargon is used in two thirds of offices across the UK, and a quarter of all workers consider it a \u2018pointless irritation\u2019. Even more amusingly, an article in <em>The Guardian <\/em>(23.04.13) described it as the \u2018strangled vocabulary of management speak\u2019, something that is actually \u2018unspeak\u2019 and is designed to \u2018deflect blame, complicate simple ideas, obscure problems and perpetuate power relations.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>I wonder how and why it has come about? It\u2019s clearly a load of old hogwash, spoken by people on a power trip. The \u2018Access to Plain English\u2019 campaigners would agree. They describe management speak as overused jargon that can be a barrier to good business, because people new to business don\u2019t understand what the words mean and may be uncertain or unforthcoming about doing business with people they don\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n<p>The thing I\u2019ve found about management speak is that it is spoken by people who sit around in meetings all day and don\u2019t actually do very much work. The focus on creativity (a phrase bandied around far too much these days) and \u2018blue sky thinking\u2019 for example, surely just means people are sat around doodling rather than doing anything productive. The people doing all the work and producing results? Well they are paid less and valued less, but they aren\u2019t trying to reinvent the wheel!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve put together a few of the old favourites. Which is yours?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s touch base <\/strong>\u2013 instead of simply talking to each other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To \u2018action\u2019 something <\/strong>\u2013 my pet hate.
