Back to leadership

To get back to the main topic. Usually used when people get sidetracked a lot and need to understand that the topic is important.

The phrase comes from "Stargate Atlantis" a Sci-Fi channel production where a character, Doctor Rodney McKay, is asked to record a message in front of a camera to his superiors and loved ones. In the first scene he starts talking about "Leadership" and in the beginning of every other scene he gets sidetracked and talks about his girlfriends or his cats. In the end of every scene he says that he need to get back to the main topic he started with. "Back to Leadership."
Boss: So where are we at with that new product?
Employee: Well sir, it's ready and I got to tell you my wife and I tested it, and she just loved it!
Boss: Oh did she?
Employee: She even told all her friends about it and they are all excited.
Boss: I see... but let us get back to Leadership Jack!

leadership boner 

noun: A raging boner that a University of Wisconsin - Green Bay student receives upon the membership within one of the many "leadership opportunities" on campus. The leadership boner can result from membership in NRHH, NACURH, GLACURH, RHAA, CAB, Community Council, etc. The degree to which a leader is involved is measured by this boner. The more fully torqued an individual is, the more excited/involved he or she is with leadership opportunities. Presence of the leadership boner indicates that the individual holding the boner is sexually frustrated due to the lack of a sexual partner, or "fuck buddy." Reason being, leadership tends to inhibit a sex life.

Fun Fact:
The size of the leadership boner is also directly related to the amount of state funding wasted on "leadership opportunities." With the increasing size of the boner comes more wasteful spending.
"Mitchell, I noticed that you are fully torqued!"

"Yes, Aaron, indeed I am. I was just nominated for NRHH, and I'm on my way to CAB! All this leadership lately has given me a very full leadership boner."

leadership 

A broad buzzword thrown around so much by every organization everywhere that it has essentially lost all meaning. (i.e. solution in the IT field.) It is normally used by organizations to weed out people who don't think they have 'it'. True leadership is actually an excercise in bullshitting. The amount of bullshit a person can spew back about what leadership truly is, is the best measure of leadership.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
