To be management-worthy, you have to stay current on your buzz words. Mark Phillips, an Asia-based writer and the former editor of Australian trade publications, offers these:
Golden retriever: A cash bonus that lures a retired executive back into an active business role.
Mushroom management: A management technique that keeps employees in the dark.
Psychic income: The satisfaction derived from your job — usually a substitute for money.
Intrapreneurship: Innovation and creativity developed within an existing company.
Eyebrow management: Arms-length management style in which a top exec can stop a course of action by the slightest hint of disapproval.
