So calling something “strategic” shouldn’t even be necessary. In business, everything you do should be well thought out and part of an overall plan.

Anyone can call themselves a guru without actually earning the title. This is another overused term to describe someone thought to be an “expert.” The issue is that it doesn’t come with any tangible credentials. An actual job title or some credentials can mean a lot more than applying this general term to anyone who has an opinion about an industry. But it doesn’t hold as much weight as it once did. This term is often used to describe a person who is recognized as an authority in a particular field. But it’s another overused buzzword that doesn’t have the same impact it used to. When something is a game changer, that usually means it is something that can significantly change an industry or business. So using this term is cliché and often just unnecessary. But in business, most issues require some level of creativity. Outside the Boxįor years, people have used this term to reference creative thinking. But when used as a self-referential term to convey abstraction, meta has overstayed its welcome. When used to describe website elements like meta tags, this term has it’s place. However, it’s been so overused in the business community that it has lost much of its meaning and just comes across as filler.

If we don’t control something, what’s the point of spending the next 30 minutes griping about it? We may as well gripe about the weather it’s a waste of time and has absolutely no bearing on the weather.īut when we keep redirecting the conversation back to issues we actually DO control, we teach our employees that there is something controllable in every situation. Talking about issues we don’t control is, by definition, an exercise in futility. It moves the conversation away from fixing blame and onto fixing the issue. It’s a simple statement that says ‘we’re not changing topics, we’re not discussing other people, we’re only talking about what we CAN control.’īy not allowing the conversation to veer off track into an emotional blame game, the employee will be forced to start taking ownership. This approach doesn’t allow the employee to dodge accountability, but neither is it a vicious reprimand. In this scenario, you’re directing (and redirecting) the conversation back to the central issue: what you CAN control. We control our reactions, we control certain parts of the reports, etc." And right now, there are things we control. I don't want to talk about anything outside of our control.
