Let somebody hear me say it. I swear 41 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: if we make something up, someone who repeat it, like 42 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: there's more than all of us. But I'm so happy 43 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: about this because a new study from Cornell suggests that 44 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: employees who are impressed by vague corporate buzzwords may actually 45 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: be worse at practical decision making, which doesn't surprise me, 46 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: because you're just copying. 47 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: You're not thinking about it, You're just copying. 48 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: Researchers examine how people react to corporate jargon like synergistic 49 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: leadership or growth hacking paradigms. They even created a corporate 50 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: BS generator that produced impressive sounding but meaningless statements and 51 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: asked more than a thousand workers to rate them. The 52 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: results showed that workers who found this kind of language 53 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: inspiring were more likely to see leaders as charismatic and visionary, 54 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: but they also scored lower on tests of analytical thinking, 55 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: cognitive reflection, and workplace decision making. 56 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: That's because they're followers. You're not using your brain. 57 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: Researchers say that this can create a negative cycle in organizations. 58 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: Employees who fall for flashy buzzwords may help promote leaders 59 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: who use that language, even if the ideas lack substance. 60 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 1: What's the one that comes to mind for you, let's 61 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: just overuse in annoying. There's like three right now. We 62 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: got to go on the thing to that just sounds scary. 63 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 3: Think we're going to table this for after the meeting, 64 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 3: because I don't want to have another meeting after the meeting. 65 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 3: Let's just talk about it now. We don't need no table. 66 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 3: Let's just talk about it. 67 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: Think Tank. By the way, I'd love to know where 68 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: it is. I'd like to go in it. It's it's metaphorical. 69 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: It's a feeling, right, Okay. 70 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: All right? And what's the third one? 71 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 3: What did I say, I'll table We're gonna circle back. 72 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been circling back for a long time. 73 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're circling back after the holidays. We're circling back 74 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 3: right now. I'm like, we'll circle back once I can walk. 75 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 3: You know that sounds like. 76 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, readdress, No, I get it. 77 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: I'm looking at a list of these things, though, I 78 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: think it's the same list I always go to when 79 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm annoyed with these. Paradigm shift essentially the same thing 80 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: as move the needle, but it sounds more intelligent and 81 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: thought provoking. A paradigm shift represents a fundamental change in 82 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: the business model. We can't make a paradigm shift here. 83 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: You guys have to unbelievable. And we got to make 84 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: sure that we grab the low hanging fruit. Oh we 85 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: had a boss who love that one.
