Abstract: Abstract Parts I and II of this book identified confusion-inducing linguistic practices and presented definitions to resolve them. Effort is now required to ensure these practices are widely recognised and the definitions are agreed and widely accepted, to the point where they supplant existing usage. This Part is an attempt to facilitate that. It is written to show how to use the previous Parts without necessarily having read them all. Contested and confused concepts are presented within their group of associated terminology, commencing with the old chestnut of accountability and proceeding through governance, power, stakeholders, leadership and ethics before looking at the meaning of meaning, soul, essence and truth as a group. For each of these, key distinguishing features are given; what it is and what it isn’t, what it looks like both when you have it and when you don’t, and whether you are dealing with it or not. Circumstances, contexts and qualifiers are clarified before identifying the traps that previous understandings and definitions of the terms have fallen into.
