Learn to Talk Good(er)

For the record, this is NOT my secret to speaking intelligently. But it amuses me greatly, Mostly because it sounds like one or two people I know. (Not any of you, of course…)

Pick one word from Section A, one from Section B, and one from Section C – string ‘em together and you’ll be guaranteed to impress your boss!

A
overarching, strategic, special, specific, core, long term, defined, technology-based, formal, exceptional, value-based, executive, immediate, interactive

B
visionary, support, customer-oriented, stretch, planning, marketing, service, process, fundamental, sales, budget, operating, discretionary, tracking

C
objectives, alternatives, expectations, mechanisms, assessment, update, model, product, centralization, incentive, initiatives, feedback, infrastructure, proposition

You are very welcome.

Rather unceremoniously borrowed from:
‘After all, what’s a news article but a formalized update process?’
