Corporate Jargon

Norbert Condoros, 2026

Ever sat through a meeting that used hundreds of words and still left you unsure what had actually been decided? Corporate Jargon: How to Talk a Lot While Saying Nothing is a funny but genuinely useful field guide to the language of modern organizations. It explores the phrases that hide agency, soften consequences, turn goals into apparent plans, make activity resemble progress, and allow uncertainty to sound like confidence. From "strategic alignment" and "value creation" to dashboards, AI language, stakeholder engagement, and the ever-popular promise to "circle back," the book looks at what corporate language actually does—and what information sometimes disappears along the way. Inside, you'll learn how to: translate corporate phrases into plain English; spot when responsibility disappears from a sentence; separate goals, strategies, roadmaps, actions, mechanisms, and outcomes; recognize when metrics clarify reality—and when they replace it; distinguish useful ambiguity from convenient vagueness; identify when technical terminology is genuinely useful rather than merely impressive; ask seven simple questions that restore missing information. This is not a crusade against business language. Technical terminology can be precise. Ambiguity can be useful. Uncertainty can be honest. The interesting question is whether the language helps people understand reality—or merely makes reality sound more professional. Read it as office humor. Read it as a practical decoder for meetings, emails, dashboards, presentations, and corporate announcements. Ideally, it works as both. More words. Less meaning. Now you can decode them.
