Lucy Kellaway’s dictionary of business jargon and corporate nonsense
Step change
Translation into plain English Change
Perpetrator Lord Green, Church of England
Usage example "We are proposing a radical step change in our development of leaders who can shape and articulate a compelling vision and who are skilled and robust enough to create spaces of safe uncertainty in which the Kingdom grows."
Lucy’s commentary Our Lord, looking down on a sentence in which His Kingdom was obliterated by a dozen dreary management clichés, must have found his genius for forgiveness sorely tested. Winner of inaugural Fallen Angel Award, 2014.
