ManagementSpeak: Just give me a quick, Volkswagen solution.

Translation: Just give me a Rolls-Royce solution, and do it as quickly and cheaply as the Volkswagen version.

Tim Lawrence joins the KJR Club by giving us a Rolls-Royce translation of a Volkswageny phrase.

When you have a flat tire, do you:

A. Keep driving, complaining about how bumpy the road is?

B. Pump air into the tire and hope it won’t leak out this time?

C. Bolt on a new axle?

D. Repair or replace the tire?

In far too many companies the answer is, for some reason, “Anything but D.”
