Instant Business Speak 29: Games

As you walk out the building at 630pm having done a great day's work, your team-lead yells over to you: 'knocking off early, eh?' In the marketing meeting there's an awful lot of talk of the need 'for a re-boot' but nobody actually defines what it is. Many of us have experienced poorly defined training and conference exercises such as that captured here. One of the many problems in organisations is that there is an awful lot of game-playing. Keeping knowledge to oneself, avoiding clear and unambiguous briefs and directives and simply hiding behind weasel words.

Try a day without games.
