In the other forum I frequent, it's usually the mods who keep telling the users to keep on topic! ... are you guys using some kind of reverse psychology on me?
You could say that using acronymn to make it harder for the other person to understand you and forcing him to put more effort into your message is also a form of domination (showing your own expertise [and expertise is power] in the topic because you understand all the acronyms).

You can also see the negative appeal of such a approach on someone who doesn't understand your acronyms.
In contrast the leadership approach might be to get as clear as possible in your communication so that the other person can easier absorb your ideas. That mean new neuron connections get formed in that persons head when you talk to him/her.
When those connections get formed that releases endorphins in the brain.
That hormon release gets associated with you because you are in that persons presence -> You attract the person (but you still have to direct that attraction on the sexual level, through the context of your communication).

Then that might sound farfetched, because it is

At the moment it's difficult to cut out the part of the conversation about acronyms, so back to the topic.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
