People – a Company’s Greatest Asset

My friend Roxanne Kaufman included me on a recipient list for a wonderful article she authored on the high value of people to any organization. She has kindly allowed me to use the article in today’s post. Roxanne is, among other things, a success coach. Her company is Prolaureate. For more information see www.prolaureate.com. Thank you Roxanne.’

Henry Ford said “You can take my factories, burn my buildings, but give me my people and I will build the business right back again.”

Henry Ford’s belief in the vital importance of people in the orvall success or an organization is more significant today than ever before.

These are turbulent and challenging times – and a perfect opportunity to re-establish and re-define your corporation’s wealth base, not just in your financial and physical assets, but in your only source for long-term stability and competitiveness.. your people.

Successful leaders know…

People are a company’s greatest asset.

People create a company’s greatest competitive advantage.

People bring economic value to every company.

The knowledge, resourcefulness, and creativity of the people within an organization translate directly into earnings and profitability. The investment of a corporation needs to be as much in people as in its financial portfolio, bricks, and mortar.

Now is the time to step forward and focus on developing your most important asset and your greatest source of ROI; and sharpen your competitive edge.

Are you investing in, communicating with, developing, and growing your people and your leadership for sustainable success?

Are you building upon and strengthening the foundation and strategy of your business for ongoing competitiveness?

Are you aligning the strengths of your people to your vision, core values, and principles to create a solid, collaborative, and results-oriented culture?

Henry got it. So should you.
