"Today I want to synthesize the strategic direction and massive opportunity I've been discussing for the last few months". I feel jargon like this is particularly unfortunate when used in a rousing team-building speech. Maybe these words capture some nuance which could not be expressed as concisely without them, but language is also used to separate in-groups from out-groups. To me, this use of "synthesize" gives off a strong visceral sense that "this man is not one of us, he spends all his times in insular CEO-only circles". He could at least have had someone else proof-read his speech and point out things like this.
