MOVING FORWARD
Is the latest phrase in work, business and whatever we are doing. On a committee, moving forward; in a business plan, moving forward; in our lives, moving forward!! Who came up with this term as we hear it everywhere now. Years ago it was- are you part of the problem or the solution! The current buzz words makes us all look intelligent and part of the game. Firstly, we have to understand what it really means. Of course, none of us want to move backwards or tread water or do we? Do we move forward before the problem is solved or does moving forward solve the problem? Or does moving forward leave the problem behind for someone else to fix? Does moving forward make us look busy? Intelligent? If you really listen to newscasts, planning meetings, speeches, try to determine how many times this cute little phrase is used and how many different meanings it can have!!

'career success and fulfillment', 'maximum performance', 'fundamental and lasting change', 'building on the momentum', etc. (or should i say, ad nauseum?).
ReplyDeletei've heard so many management pep talks over the years that i no longer listen to them ... just recognize them for what they are (buzz words) and get on with my life.
guess i should move forward and post a blog item or two of my own ... been 'too busy' lately to write much (yes, i know, i'm forgetting the important things ...).
