Following up on the undelivered gifts we were informed by a customer service representative, "Your packages are scheduled to arrive on the 26th." No packages arrived on the 26th or the 27th or the 28th or the 29th ... you get the point. Yet each time we called back, we were told they should be delivered tomorrow.

Credibility could have been preserved if the carrier had simply told us the truth. Inundated with hundreds of thousands of displaced packages due to a two-day transportation shutdown, they had no idea when our particular packages would be delivered. Instead, they did what many people do. They chose weasel words to evade, retreat and avoid commitment. They told us what they thought we wanted to hear.

Like a weasel sucking out an egg's content without destroying the shell, weasel words give the appearance of communicating information as they suck out meaning. Words like many, much, should, maybe, often, some or seems can be put in that category. So can common

Well-chosen conference gifts can pay off big for your company in terms of exposure and new business. The key is in deciding the purpose of your attendance at the conference, and making your pla

a weasel sucking out an egg's content without destroying the shell, weasel words give the appearance of communicating information as they suck out meaning. Words like many, much, should, maybe, often, some or seems can be put in that category. So can common workplace phrases like: "it has come to my attention;" "many people think;" "it has been decided;" or "we can deal with that later." It's easy to find them. Just listen for what is not being said and you'll spot the weasel words.

These avoidance, non-committal spin words erode communication, trust and credibility. Of course, we all use them from time to time. But there's a difference when we opt for their use to intentionally deceive. People who deliberately choose weasel words to deflect conflict, disagreement, obligation or accountability are not people who are winning at working.

People who are winning at working know the power of words to build relationships, influence results, and enhance trust.
