People As Assets: Building High Performance Organizations

CAVEAT: People as Assets is not an ordinary book, it is a comprehensive and practical step-by-step blueprint for strategic people management. It brings out the details that make all the difference; it shows you how to be methodical and deliberate in positioning your people as true assets, delivering the value to make your organization sustainably high performing.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place — GEORGE BERNARD SHAW.

People as assets: The purpose of an asset is to generate positive returns. If it does not generate positive returns, it is not an asset, period! In fact it may be a liability. At best, it is a hobby that gives sentimental satisfaction but is of no economic value.

An asset must be carefully selected, valued, nurtured, enhanced, and retained in great condition.

When an asset starts to consistently yield negative returns, a retool, reassign or release decision must be made.
