Why Business People Speak Like Idiots

The workplace is full of corporate speak—that endless stream of jargon that makes it harder to get your voice heard over all the bombardment. With so many voices speaking so much fluff, it seems almost necessary to join in.

Why Business People Talk Like Idiots is a clear-cut guide by Brian Fugere, Chelsea Hardaway and Jon Warshawsky that will show you how to progress your career while being able to talk straight and skip the hard-sell tedium. By making over your visual metaphors, making your point by making theirs, and using your behavior style to convey what you mean, the reader will learn to rise above the four traps of business bull—obscurity, anonymity, hard sell and tedium—to be that independent and engaging voice you superiors are looking for.
