Corporate Language

Using the language of the corporate executive !


First, I think we need to hit the ground running, keep our eye on the ball, and make sure that we are singing off the same song sheet.

At the end of the day it is not a level playing field and the goal posts may move; if they do, someone else may have to pick it up and run with it. We therefore must have a golf bag of options hot-to-trot from the word ‘go’ so we can square the circle.

It is your train set but we cannot afford to leave it on the back burner; we’ve got a lot of irons in the fire, right now.

I don’t want to re-invent the wheel but we must get right into the weeds on this one. If push comes to shove, we may have to up stumps and then we’ll be in a whole new ball game.

There is light at the end of the tunnel and I think we have a winner here. If it gets blown out the water, however, I will be throwing it back. So get your feet into my in-tray and give me chapter and verse as to how you see things panning out. As long as our ducks are in a row I think the ball will stay in play and we can come up smelling of roses.

It is imperative we nail our colours very firmly to the mast and look at the big picture. We’ve got to march to the beat of the drum. We are on a sticky wicket, we’ll need to play with a-straight-bat.

I don’t want to rock the boat or teach anyone to suck eggs. We must keep this firmly in our sight picture or it will fall between the cracks.

Have a nice day.
