why your people are not your greatest assets
A common catch-cry of many organisations, and their leaders, is that ‘people are our greatest assets’. However, as leaders in asset management it’s not acceptable to treat our people like machines, or as mere economic artefacts.
It’s essential that as leaders in asset management, we don’t fall into the trap of characterising people within our asset management system as if they were just another piece of equipment. The technical approach and the business perspective are necessary, but not sufficient. Machines are expendable, but people are not.
