There's a lot of soft-ish or meta skills that don't get taught, mainly because most orgs don't place much value on them (as you have noticed), but also because it's not a well-studied field. I'm different enough from those I work with at the day job that I don't feel a one size fits all approach will work for everyone. I don't want to be a square peg shoved into a round hole. I do take a very eclectic approach to productivity systems, and tend to pick what works for me while leaving behind anything I consider fluff. I've built almost, but not quite, TDD teams this way (organically from the ground up), and it helps us stay lean and agile.
