I love what this article has to say. Basically:
It's the people, stupid!
While most organizations may say they agree with this value (our people are our biggest asset), most don't actually act like it.
Perhaps it's because they don't know what to do. Finding and cultivating talent isn't easy. It's a soft science, which most of us aren't good at.
Or perhaps they don't really have the vision for it, assuming that top performers will develop themselves without corporate guidance. They may question whether the time and effort spent by organizations to develop their people really pays off.
But some companies like those studied in this article, have developed systematic approaches to finding and developing their top performers.
Who should be leading the way in developing people? Churches!
"All leading firms display this one obsessive characteristic: a maniacal focus on getting, developing and retaining the best talent. Their attention to human resources is pivotal to their performance: staff stay with them and grow to become great leaders, and good leadership leads to superior financial performance. A veritable mantra for success."
