Self-Development
The practical side of self-development is rarely viewed through the lens of business outcomes.

Occasionally, it was dusted off during the annual performance appraisal discussion as a checklist of unrelated tasks that lend further credence to it being taken as seriously as a Flava Flav critique of the Six Wives of Henry the VIII.
