Why business people speak like idiots

I recently finished listening to
Why Business People Speak Like Idiots: A
Bullfighter's Guide
during my commutes from home to work and vice
versa. I was never really a fan of business
speak, crazy work such as paradigm shift, or
leveraging my assets to build up a best of breed
solution. While in business school I tried to
avoid such BS, but I do have to admit that I
have in a number of occasions (when in the
presence of Business people) used such language.
The book was actually quite refreshing for both people who actively seek asylum from such language, and people who should reform their vocabulary to eliminate such non-sense from their word banks. The book comes in audiobook form
,
and I highly recommend it. At the very least the
book is entertaining and it won’t be a waste of
your time. Who knows, the book might convince
you to look at your own usage of business bull
and encourage you to cut it out.
