A Spirit With a Vision is a Dream With a Mission
This Sunday I'm off to the North woods of Minnesota for our company's two day off-site strategic planning conference. There's guaranteed to be plenty of visioning, missioning, wordsmithing, breaking out, and, just for "fun", even a little team building. And since we are talking about strategic planning, we'll be operating at the ten-thousand foot level. Or is it the twenty-thousand foot level? I'll have to remember to bring my altimeter along for reference.
It should be a gold mine of corporate jargon and clichés. I can't wait to discover the latest batch of nouns that have been verbizied (see how easy it is) to expand the business speak dialect. At the end of the day, I just hope I have the bandwidth and face time to touch base with my associates to leverage the learnings, key takeaways, and action items that emerge from the conference. Going forward, it may be necessary to dialogue and drill down to discover what incentivizes them to close the loop to get their buy in and minimize pushback.
