If I hear that again, I think I'm going to scream. Or just say: "can't we say 'problem'?" Oh, wait. Sorry. I meant "challenge." Someone at Johnson & Johnson told me they have to call their bosses "thought leaders." I wonder if that's still the case. I remember ages ago going to "Total Quality Management" training and then going to my boss and asking him if he wanted it explained. He said he already understood TQM. "It means 'layoffs,' pal." And oh yes. "Data rich and information poor." Whenever I hear that, I always think of Lincoln's words: "that is a political obfuscation, as opposed to an honest lie."
