Shack37 Wouldn't a typo for fellowship would it? As in Band of Brothers
How about 'Wallowship' - The ability to float above the ever increasing tsunami of crap pamphlets, petty rules regarding E&D, H&S, initiatives, Human Factors, posters telling you not to get your kn*b out in the crewroom and inclusion policies.
It is all boll*cks. Not to mention the ever changing shift rosters to cope with the latest bout of egg fertilisation leading to paid time off.
Grrrrrr

The ability, of the remaining aircraft (of a multiple aircraft formation), to follow the formation leader by also crashing into a mountain.
The ability, of the remaining aircraft (of a multiple aircraft formation), to follow the formation leader by also crashing into a mountain.
An example of followership was in the events leading up to the Nimrod ditching. With a diagnosed fire, the aircraft captain was heading for a runway, using the information directly available to him. However, a junior member of the crew who could see the progress of the fire had the confidence to interject his more urgent knowledge to the captain's already very busy decision-making process, leading to the bold decision to ditch so close to a runway, despite the limited chance of a safe outcome. It was subsequently thought that they probably wouldn't have made it to the runway before the rest of the wing root burned through.
It's all part of CRM in our world, but can be applicable in many situations.

How about performance as a:
Subordinate.
Team member.
These are words defined in a dictionary and thus are less likely to be incorrectly used.
However,...along with P-N comment - invent something new then stand back and left the noise die down.
Some phrases/terms for this years OJARs:
X successfully repurposed processes and systems that were not working and repurposed them thus achievanating the aim.
Presenteeism - being at work.
Internot - poor use of IT.
Latterati - always found in the coffee bar.
Mouse potato - couch potatoes of the internet generation
Multislacking - to do several different types of very little at once.
Assmosis - brown-nosing abilities rather than your ability to do your job. Also known as suck-cession.

I am SO glad I am not part of this nonsense anymore. Talk about fiddling while Rome burns...
"Ooh, we are fighting a major campaign in Afghanistan but the defence budget is about to come under enormous pressure! what shall we do? I know, let's introduce even more complexity into personnel appraisals, that will solve the problem! And lets invent some new management-speak too while we are at it - that'll keep the chaps busy!"
If I was still serving, I would be despairing. To those of you who are still in, thank you for doing such a geat job and making your country proud, while you endure the blizzard of unecessary change and constant top-level interference from those in charge. You have our admiration and gratitude.

Just saw this in the developingpeopleuk blog:
Followers are not simply “sheep”. “Sheep” are passive and uncritical, lacking in initiative and a sense of responsibility. Effective followers are highly participative, critical and independent thinkers.
Seems to me then if you aren't being critical, you aren't a good "follower". Me thinks I will keep this in my pocket when I get debriefed.

I spent nearly 30 years on Nimrods doing just that!
Oh, but no longer possible after 31 March 2010. Does anyone know if the Russians are decommissioning their submarine fleet at the same time?
