“Every asset that you're entrusted with--whether it's money, procedures, materials, technology--all of it is depreciating. All of it is becoming obsolete. Human assets can also depreciate in value. It's literally true in some organizations, the people are worth less--and in some cases are worthless--compared with a year ago. But human assets can also appreciate in value. People can become worth more. Those who are powerful in leadership understand that one of the key tasks of management is to find ways to grow people.”
