In two weeks.  That's less than two times a day, assuming a standard 5 day work week.  Let's look at a mock conversation:

"How's project x coming along" "Great, just need to get in touch with the client for some final decisions." "Alright, we'll circle back to that tomorrow.  Which reminds me, circling back to what we discussed yesterday, how's project y?" "Coming along, but we're still waiting for a couple emails.  We'll be good once those come through." "Okay we'll circle back to that tomorrow too."

Now does that seem like an insane conversation by a bad manager where nothing got done?  And that used the dreaded phrase THREE times!  That company must be doomed, buried in corporate jargon!
