In the #corporate world, we love using the analogy of war in our presentations and conversations. This helps in bringing focus, attention and inspiration.
So, terms like ‘attack’, ‘bombard’, ‘guerilla tactics’, ‘hostile’, ‘targets’, ‘bulls-eye’, ‘War Room’, ‘squad’, ‘surveillance’, ‘Ammunition’ are used abundantly in the meeting rooms and on the slides.
While we love using military jargon in the corporate world, but we do not learn from them about standing up for your colleague the way the armed forces do. If you speak to a soldier or a military person, he or she is willing to die for their colleagues, even if they like them or not.
Why? Because that is the only way they know. The readiness to give away your life does not come with conditions and bias. They have the same level of commitment for each and every colleague!
On the other hand, in the corporate world, forget about life, we will even think twice in giving credit or a word of appreciation to our colleague because of the various emotions (dislike, jealousy, insecurity, ego) and feelings that will cloud our reaction.
So, the true spirit of military jargon will only come to life when we can walk the talk.
