If you work in business, the chances are you have fallen under the
poisonous spell of business bullshit and jargon. Very few of us seem
able to avoid "reaching out", or "walking the talk", or "shifting
paradigms", or "thinking outside the box". No longer solely the province
of management consultants, investors and MBA types, business
gobbledygook has mesmerized the rank and file around the globe. Help is
at hand with this guidebook, aptly described as "the world's most
comprehensive collection" of the top 2,000 business terms and jargon
that have infected us all. Stay sane (and keep your colleagues and
customers from suffocating you) from the business bullshit madness by
having this little book by your side. "Kevin has captured perfectly the
worst linguistic excesses of the business world in a way that is
depressing, truthful, and very, very funny all at the same time" - Chris
Carmichael, Head of Media, EMEA, HP.
LID Publishing's popular Concise Advice Lab notebooks are designed to be
quick and comprehensive brainstorming tools and skill-building resources
for busy professionals. The small trim size makes it easy to take along
in a briefcase or purse. Interior pages are matte finish, so ink won't
smear, and there's plenty of space to jot notes. A ribbon makes it easy
to mark your place, and the elastic outer band keeps the notebook
closed.
