We tackle lots of serious and interesting work problems with Brandon Smith on Working. This week, we’re having a little bit of fun looking at all the trite phrases and workplace clichés that end up in so many of our conversations. Things like: “paradigm shift,” “change the culture,” “due diligence,” “think outside the box,” “low-hanging fruit.”
The idea is to quickly and clearly communicate an idea, but what results is a lot of gobbledygook and a lack of clarity. Our workplace guru, Brandon Smith, explains how to avoid using clichés and buzzwords – and how to encourage your boss to stop, too. It’s Working on GPB Radio.
