War metaphors often find their way into the language of corporate culture, whether in meetings, presentations or internal communications. Words such as “battle plan”, “defend”, “fight” or “winning strategy” are used to describe the competition. These metaphors can influence employees’ attitudes toward their work and their team by creating an atmosphere of competition and conflict.
