They are scarce experts renting their time to employers. An asset implies ownership.
Doing your best in a competitive global market is just not good enough! It suggests a linear measurement. Steady as she goes means managing to mediocrity.
A focus on cost-cutting and efficiency has helped many organizations weather the downturn, but this approach will ultimately render them obsolete. Only the constant pursuit of innovation can ensure long-term success
