FMA talk
The new Financial Markets Authority has advertised for announced the appointment of three more senior managers.
A reader, who hightlighted the ad announcement to me, comments:
I noted the following corporate babble-speak in the space of just 573 words:
- “Strategic” – mentioned five times;
- “Stakeholder engagement” – aargh!
- “Stakeholders” mentioned three times.
- “Head of Stakeholder Management”, a position description, no less.
- What, pray, is a “strategic leadership team”?
- “Stakeholder engagement” seems to be one of the skills of the Head of Stakeholder Management though the difference in language is telling. Which one wins?
- I liked someone’s “commitment to achieving tangible outcomes that contribute to business success”. I would have thought that’s what people get paid for.
- Being “pivotally involved” is another’s skill.
- And thanks are due to someone else for “strategic secondments”.
Please spare us from this nonsense.
They just needed to scatter “fundamental” in there a few times also.
