I think we may be at cross purposes here. My fault for which I apologise.
As I understand it your professional role is that of consultant/interim manager. Your perspective and that of the employees/current management is that you're there to 'sort them out'. They fear loss of status and jobs etc. In that circumstance trying a 'bulls*t baffles brains' tactic is no surprise - we tried it when we had interims in the Public Trust Office.
That's a different kettle of fish to the use of professional jargon, or terms of art to pick on a phrase beloved of one my former very senior colleagues, between professional people as in my lobster pot example or lawyers' terms such as ex-parte or pro-bono.
