• Morass: Any confusing or troublesome situation
• Imposing order on the morass of HR analytic. (Theodore Kinni)
• Luster: Glitter; sparkle; sheen or gloss
• But most stars who switch firms turned out to be meteors, quickly losing luster in their new settings. (Boris Groysberg)
• Cut and dried: Prepared or settled in advance; not needing much thought and discussion
• But these same leaders can find it very uncomfortable to speak up when their concerns are less cut-and-dried or when their organization is hell-bent on pursuing a plan. (Elizabeth Doty)
