One thing I learned over the years is that there is zero training in being a good manager. Promotions to management are based upon two things: technical expertise or relationships (brown-nosing/nepotism etc.) Having managerial skills is completely unnecessary for the job.

Very few "managers" take the time to observe, study, and gain the skill set needed when they are in the job. Most end up regurgitating the most recent MBA bullshit fad.

Time to get your Seven Sigma black belt so you can synergize silo'd teams into efficient fusion collaborators via Lean Agile development paradigms and maximize productivity!

Did I make up or misuse some of those terms?

Maybe! I don't care!

In my experience its all just 'I learned some new lingo which makes me very cool and also very serious and important', but its only function is to create social etiquette hierarchies and obfuscate and overcomplicate meetings and directives to the point they don't mean or accomplish anything.
