In my own experience with employees, i've stuggles with the fact that if I don't name an effort, no one takes it seriously, but when I do people start thinking its management jargon and is fake. It seems like managers should push some effort with out naming it, let the mass name it as sort of a joke, then use that name to push it to completion. Would it work?
