Bad Language is good for you...


I read this with amusement yesterday in the papers and I thought I should share with all of you.

In short, the article basically is saying, regular swearing at work can help boost team spirit among staff, allowing them to express better about their feelings as well as develop social relationships, according to a British researcher.

The research studied the use of profanity in the workplace and assessed its implications for managers. The key appeared to be knowing when such language was appropriate and when to turn a blind eye.

The results - Banning swear words and reprimanding staff might represent strong leadership, but could remove key links between staff and impact on morale and motivation.

"I SWEAR.....BY THE MOON...AND THE STARS...AND THE SKY...."
