Corporate Culture Enthusiast Gifts

'Excellent meeting. I loved the quick fixes, the simple solutions, and the easy answers.'

"The main, unchangeable principal that I use in life is to be pragmatic."

Just Merged.

Three office doors: 'Idea People,' 'Make It Happen People,' and 'Make it Like This Never Happened People.'

Boss: 'Change is good!' Employees: 'Who's getting fired?'

'Of course, the first rule of effective management is active participation.'

"Sometimes it's important to stop whatever break you're taking and just do the work."

'As you know, George, we female C.E.O.'s use a collaborative management style. With that in mind, how would you prefer to be fired?'

"I was just going to say, 'Well, I don't make the rules.' But, of course, I do make the rules."

'Ms. Jennings, have you seen my 'Organization is the Key to the Success' poster?'

"Getting good grades isn't enough, son. You also need to bring in new clients."

"Now will everybody please turn to page 5 of the hidden agenda."

"This brand has a clean balance sheet, a lively marketing plan with tasteful notes of originality, and a strong fiscal-year finish."

'I don't know the dress code either... but I bet it doesn't include jammies!'

'Everybody has to change to compete.'

'To begin with, I'd like to apologise for my behavior at our recent meeting!'

'Globalization never did me any harm.'

'May I make a suggestion?'

Rumour and speculation at work.

'Call a meeting, they're up to something, again.'

In case of disgruntled employee break glass.

'I'm sorry but this is a staff meeting and that is obviously a rod...'

"Security? There's a goddam tree in my office."

"We don't have an exercise room here. You'll stay in shape by climbing the ladder, jumping through hoops, toeing the line..."

'First, the Rules of Engagement for this meeting ...'

"That's all very nice, Jefferson, but do you have any other new business?"

"You still haven't got the hang of breakfast networking, have you. . . ?"

'Sure, they may be our best sales team, but what a bunch of prima donnas! The minute they think someone is trespassing on their turf, it's 'circle-the-cubicles' time!'

"All those in favor of saying 'It's a wrap' instead of 'Meeting adjourned' say 'Aye.' "

"Why don't you just go ahead and email me and we'll schedule a call, O.K.?"

'We're a non-profit corporation. It's not by design. It just turned out that way.'

'With this ringbinder, I thee wed.'

'Well, it seems we've got someone amongst us who needs to learn about the meaning of corporate identity.'

"I think you might need to start again."

"Go say something nice about your mother's corporation."
