Top Ten Over-Used Business Expressions

From Chicago Business On-Line [explanatory comments in the original]:
10. Bandwidth
9. Spinning our wheels
8. Let's not re-invent the wheel
7. Team-member
6. Pro-active
5. Work-life balance
4. Let's compare apples to apples, not apples to oranges.
3. Self-starter
2. Let's hit the ground running.
1. Value-added

I would add "systemic" and "go-getter" to the list.
