Out of the box thinking

So the millions of you would be wondering how a successful boss like me would handle appraisals. Let me tell you how the best in the business does it.

See, first thing to remember is too use a few fancy phrases like, Out of the box, Outside the normal workflow, Out of pocket, Pro-active thinking, Self-starter, Value-adder etc. etc.

The beauty of using these phrases is that most people don’t know what they mean and rather than asking or doing a search on Google, they just pretend they know what it means. And they can be used both in negative and positive ways. And if you really want to have some fun, keep making them up as you go along. Like Zero-based thinking, Information-retainer, Value-add leader, Einstein of the project, Playing hide and seek with success …. Stuff like that.

And when you hit people with phrases, it takes them time to hit you back with a proper question or answer and you can move on to the next point while they are thinking of a good question/reply.

I hope this demystifying session has been helpful in removing the sandgrains from your brain. (See what I did here, man I’m so good at this shit!!).
