Babble.

You can tell a cohesive team, workplace, or organisation by its language.

People working in sync with each other develop a common language.

That’s why the military has its unique vernacular. Each unit or service may have a bit of its own accent twang. But everyone understands everyone else because they must or people die.

There’s a crispness and economy among those in defence born from two necessities: accuracy and urgency.

You can also tell a group of egos jostling for attention by their fragmented, appropriated language. Noisy, meaningless buzzwords, slogans, cliches, and jargon.

Babbling.

Everybody talking. Nobody listening.
