Corporate Jargon
Season 1 – Episode 17: Corporate Jargon Is It Just Buzzword Bingo? This week, we take a 30,000-foot view and deep dive into corporate language. If it's only Buzzword Bingo, why do 75% of us use it?

We also talk about Reward and Recognition - what is the difference between the two, and what behaviours and outcomes they drive. They’re like steroids. They will turbocharge behaviours, but are they the behaviours you want? Do large corporate incentives work, or are they a waste of money? We also discuss what works, a simple thank you for a job done well (see what we did there) and creating an environment where your staff can feel and be successful. If you have any questions or comments or need … [Read more...]
