Hello, Rahul—and welcome to English Forums. You are trying to use big words that are of the wrong register; save such words for a thesis. I suggest: At the board meeting, the managing director said that the sales team was not doing a good job.

Hi Mister Micawber,
Thank you very much for your input and suggestion. I have taken a note of it and I am grateful to you for that.
I would like to lean how to use those big words. I am aspiring to do a Phd and for my thesis, as you correctly pointed out, I would like to use them. Would it be possible for you to explain me why those words were of the wrong register.

Rahul ShahWould it be possible for you to explain me why those words were of the wrong register.Because it is a simple business message: everyone should be able to understand it quickly and easily without pondering meanings or resorting to a dictionary.

Rahul ShahI would like to lean how to use those big words. I am aspiring to do a PhD and for my thesisI doubt if you will have any reason to use animadversion even in a doctoral dissertation.
