How not to inspire your team to achieve greatness

Today the data team leader sent out an email to the entire IT team that was only two paragraphs long, and yet managed to cram in all of the following phrases:

• "governance imperative"
• "business initiative"
• "management-driven"
• "critical success factor"
• "proactively"
• "process and control"
• "integrated, consolidated, improved"
• "cross functional"
• "fuels that power the modern corporation"
• "mired in the prenatal lifecycle"
• "need for effective collaboration"
• "support mechanism for initiatives"
• "effective collaborative structure for data-intense business initiatives"
  

In the words of Lisa Simpson: "Excuse me, but aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound smart?"
