" ... meeting to manage expectations among decision makers regarding leveraging focus on the enterprise's multi-dimensional objectives ... "

Can you believe twits are getting paid $150 an hour to babble this crap into my ear? The reason it is only $150 is because they are taking about "decision makers" and not "key decision makers", that would be worth an extra $50.

Of course this does show promise, it is all about "managing expectations" and contains the buzz words "leverage", "focus", and "enterprise". Bonus points for ever popular "multi-dimensional".

so you're paying 2.50/minute on a 1-900 number and you get the girl to talk about that?

That would probably be cheaper for this company.

Hired gun CEOs are very good at managing expectations. The trick is to lower everyone's expectation of what you should accomplish. Then when you reach a relatively easy goal you look like a rainmaker.

The real trick is to get the expectations set in very fuzzy unmeasurable terms, so no matter what happens, you get the bonus.
