Winston Churchill once said, “Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.” An organization, be it a country or a company, is only as strong as the people who drive the process and agenda for that organization. In the modern business environment, Human capital is the driving force behind success and in many cases failure. The modern global economy has brought down barriers and opened up the market place. Under the mounting competitive pressures, many managers lose sight of their most valuable asset, their people. When it comes to employees, I trust the old business adage that an A class person with a B class product will always outperform a B class person with an A class product. Managers need to step back, take a breath and focus on ‘who’ will help take their company to the next level.
