JARGON SCENARIO (this is fictitious)
So the other day I was in a meeting and I was getting so frustrated. Every idea that was being put out was either punted or shelved. What is up with that? I’m already giving my 110% and I don’t know what else to leverage. Personally, I think that there are too many moving parts to actually have the bleeding edge. I’ve got to re-evaluate my spot in this company or at the very least check back to what my core competencies are and if they are aligned with this company.
Punt- give up on an idea, toss it out
Shelf- put on hold
Leverage- control or manipulate
Too many moving parts- too many processes or employees
Bleeding edge- be ahead of the game of innovation
Core competencies- what I do best, my main skills
Aligned- a good fit
