Language in the workplace matters, and it can inspire as easily as it can deflate. An essential aspect of any organization is the way it communicates both internally and externally, and the language used contributes greatly to its potential for success or failure. Bad business language has become commonplace, making this book essential reading for professionals. From HR, marketing, finance, consulting, and I.T. to local politicians, "Bad Language" considers the chaotic garbled words and phrases that are too commonly used, and the resulting issues of spin, manipulation, and plain deceit.
We're now within the golden age of bullshit and whether we like it or not, we are being constantly bombarded with lies, fakery, and spin. This is especially true of the workplace. By using humor as well as test cases like Enron, this book exposes the techniques used by liars and shows how damaging they are to business. Find out about the various degrees of deceit, how to spot a liar, and how lying is used at every level at work. If you think your company is fraud-free, then you'll be one of the 80 percent of companies who believe that's the case. The only problem is that in a recent study, some 45 percent of companies found cases of fraud within their own staff. There's a bullshitter sitting near you now . . .
