The English parlance of American business is utter gobbledygook. The vocabulary within non-profits is even worse.
The more I read from Dan Palotta the more endeared I become to him. His book, "Uncharitable" is about the ridiculous mores, both intrinsic and extrinsic, that impair the effectiveness of charities. I was blessed to find him a kindred spirit when I began my own non-profit in 2010. By that time I had developed a tolerance for non-sensical jargon and group-think in business. The non-profit sector, however, is immersed in such a say-nothing, mean-nothing, decide-nothing, do-nothing culture that it's amazing that anything gets accomplished.
In fact, were there not a steady influx of starry eyed bleeding hearted young people, it would be a great environment for leaders to commit heinous crimes and find no internal condemnation. Kind of like Jerry Sandusky and The Second Mile.
