Google this: "The Corporate Bullsh-t Receptivity Scale: Development, validation, and
associations with workplace outcomes" paper by Shane Littrell, PHD
Every consultant from McKinsey, every MC member and HR exec who talks that fake BS we hear every day, but somehow doesn't know how to ACTUALLY lead, turns out there's this paper that dives into it. Turns out the coworkers who love mission statements and call their boss 'transformational' score lowest on actual decision-making. The buzzword-fluent are running the building. All the terrible people get promoted to grades 20+ and hire their grades 17 to 19 because they like the way these people "talk". It's all in this paper.
People with an actual IQ, turns out, get promoted less.
