Yeah. Corporate jargon is everywhere. And while some of it can help teams move faster, too often it just muddies the waters and slows everyone down.We’re breaking down the real impact of workplace jargon, when it helps, when it hurts, and how it might be damaging your leadership credibility more than you think.
