You won't believe it, but we've got a manager in our office for a couple of weeks. I don't know why he's here, but it seems they can't find anything else for him to do. I asked him that very question and he gave a similar reply. They're amazing! So I asked him how long he thought Royal Mail would go on paying managers salaries for people to spend their day cutting and tipping bags and pushing empty Yorks around the landing. He just walked off at that.

It's a gift I first noticed when I was at school. Many was the time my mam had to go up to school over a load of lip I'd given some cane happy, tweed jacketed divvy. It steadily developed once I started work, but I have to say, these half-witted office boys Royal Mail thinks are managers don't take much to wind up. They've got nothing going for them and I don't think any of them would be managing anywhere else. The highly strung fools would last about five minutes in a factory or building site.

Well, mate............. I do believe they think, if they switch from speaking English, to speaking managerese, they won't appear stupid.

Do you think we should let them down gently, and tell 'em it don't work?

from the Plain English campaign http://www.plainenglish.co.uk/mgmtspeak.htm

Apart from the usual business jargon and gobbledygook (plenty of examples of which you will find elsewhere on this site), offices up and down the country, and indeed across the world, resound with corporate 'management speak', or 'marketing speak'.

Management speak is typically used to make something seem more impressive than it actually is.

Last year, a survey revealed that many staff who work for big corporate organisations find themselves using management speak as a way of disguising the fact that they haven't done their job properly. Some people think that it is easy to bluff their way through by using long, impressive-sounding words and phrases, even if they don't know what they mean.

Below is a list of some of our 'favourite' examples. (Highlighted RML favourites)

* ballpark figure
* be proactive not reactive
* bring it to the table
* mission critical
* move the goalposts
* think outside the box
* blue-sky thinking
* pushing the envelope
* there is no 'I' in team
* knowledge base
* core competencies
* win-win situation
* client focus
* deliverables
* incentivise
* take it to the next level

We could go on and on. Please feel free to send us your own examples, and for a bit of fun, why not try the well-known game 'buzzword bingo'. Simply listen out for the buzzwords in your company meetings and ... BINGO!
