      The stuff about corporate “power-speak”, where the sociopaths start using certain phrases for their power-games and larger selfish strategies, and the clueless layer try to imitate them but without knowing why, is something I experienced at every workplace.

      It’s a very good piece. I read about half of his book, Tempo: Timing, Tactics and Strategy in Narrative-Driven Decision-Making, though I remember almost none of it now.

        Ah, I never read the book. Sounds like it could be entertaining.

          I stopped reading because I wasn’t sure how much smoke he might have been blowing up my ass at the time, and I don’t remember enough to say now without reading it again.
