In December 2001, I finished writing a (45-page) management research paper titled "Self-Development As A Tool For Achieving Career Advancement".

In it, I referred to the observation Zig Ziglar made in his book - Over The Top - about certain employees who go to work each day without working to improve their abilities to do the job for which they are being paid. He accurately descried such persons as having one year's experience repeated every other year, without making any effort to change the trend.
