There were a few concepts I learned during my SO stint that have been useful. After years of sifting through and separating out the dreck, that is. One of them was the concept of Dev-T. It helped me put some thought into my business communications and activities and their organizational affect.
Knowing as I do now that Hubbard borrowed, lifted, sometimes plagarized materials from many different sources, I am curious if he learned about or borrwed the idea of Dev-T from someone else. Maybe it was an early Scientologist. Maybe it was a business book he skimmed through at some point. Maybe it was something that came up in a conversation with someone and LRH later issued it as his idea.
I'm curious to see if there was more to this concept that Hubbard might have altered when it went through his own strange filter. In addition to the tendancy to use it as a pejorative and reason for punishment.
I'd like to know if anyone else knows where LRH got this idea. Or maybe there is another business reference to this idea that has nothing to do with Scientology? I just haven't run across anything yet, myself.
