Career or personal development is very hard, it takes focus and a huge amount of effort to get it right. Digital marketing for example is at the forefront of the new way of marketing and it things change every day at a fast pace. So teaching a new employee or existing employees new tricks is sometimes hard. It is made even harder because businesses sometimes just can't find the time to devote to developing their own people.
