You should take a look at a book by Eccles, R. & Norita, N. called Beyond
the Hype (1992). In a chapter called Rhetoric: The Work of Words they
examine the talks of the CEO4s and management consultants of the 504s and
the late 804s. The resemblance is striking and the conclusions are IMHO
eye opening.
