One of the hallmarks of a flopping company is when they start calling the managers "leaders", as though the label would create credibility or legitimacy beyond their managerial authority.
- pshin45 13y agoI've found that's true for almost all naming and branding. If you have to try to improve the name of a company/product/job, it probably wasn't a very good company/product/job to begin with OR the name is overly aspirational and the reality is the opposite of what you're trying to name it. secretary --> executive Assistant waiter --> server garbage man --> sanitation engineer janitor --> custodian Any company/product that has the word "best" or "fast" --> Not the best or fastest at all strip club --> gentlemen's club Etc.
