In the university context, it is frustrating how often "we need to focus on our strengths" seems to mean "we need to hire two more Associate Vice-Presidents of Strategic Planning."
Every time I read a sober company-wide email complete with imaginary eye contact from the CEO explaining how we need to streamline and focus on our strengths and how people might be "impacted" by "restructuring," I think of friends losing their jobs while the CEO buys a yacht.
