The Most Valuable Asset

The Most Valuable Asset

An asset is defined as “a useful or valuable thing or person”. The problem in business is that most leaders forget about the person aspect of this definition. Business leaders typically focus on tangible or intangible assets that the firm owns. Most assets that are front-and-center within day-to-day business are inventories, buildings, equipment, patents, copyrights, or financial assets such as stocks or bonds. However, this limited perception ignores the most valuable corporate asset; every, single employee.
