2. “People are the only element with the inherent
power to generate value.
All other variables - cash and its cousin credit, materials, plant,
equipment, and energy — offer nothing but inert potentials.
By their nature, they add nothing, and they cannot add anything until
some human being, be it the lowest level operator, the most ingenious
professional, or the loftiest executive, leverages that potential by putting
it into play”.

•We need to ensure that we are not training for
training sakes
•We need to make sure we aren’t just ticking the box
•We need to make sure that the focus is on learning
