Jim was able to hold a staff meeting in January to share data on earnings, as he backs up his words with actions. The company used to be known for fabrication and gambling, but Jim was hired to identify and remove that culture. A new business leader created a name for himself and aims to raise salaries with a tactical vision through a pact with employees, while any vacancy will only occur if mediocre performance is addressed.

We need strong business writing.
- 1. Jim’s ability to backup his words and not cancel the landmark January staff meeting means we can all share the valuable data on earnings. To fabricate and gamble used to be the company hallmark, but Jim was hired to identify and jettison that culture. Keen to label our brand with a new identity, business world’s new magnate created a name for himself. His oath to employees is a pact of allegiance qualified by action to raise salary levels with tactical vision. It’s also an ultimatum to workers that a vacancy will only occur after we have waged war on mediocre performance. X-rated objections to the new order will be no yardstick to marginalise our zeal.

- 3. Jim’s clear ability to consistently backup his words and not cancel the landmark January staff meeting means we can all share the valuable data on earnings. To fabricate and gamble used to be the company hallmark, but Jim was hired to quickly identify and jettison that culture. Very keen to label our brand with a new identity, business world’s new magnate soon created a name for himself. His firm oath to employees is a pact of allegiance qualified by action to raise salary levels with tactical vision. It’s also a landmark ultimatum to workers that a vacancy will only occur after we have waged war on mediocre performance. X-rated objections to the new order will be no yardstick to marginalise our new zeal. Well placed adjectives and adverbs make business writing more credible if there is evidence that they are meaningful. For example, clear and consistently imply Jim has a history of this behaviour.
