Is people indeed the most valuable asset of a company?

I know that intangible assets, like people, are not a big part of this module. Of course tangible assets like buildings, equipment and so on need a lot of attention and specific plans to be managed successfully. However, there was a general discussion towards people management at the end of the module.

In the previous module that I attend, the tutor asked who believed that people are the most valuable asset of a company and most of us answered positively. Nevertheless, she stated that it's not people. It is great people who are the most important asset of a company! And actually it's makes sense!

The problem is that for a company is almost sure that not all its people are great. Maybe the majority of them, but not all. Thus, a company has to do the best it can with what is has. It's not easy; rather it's challenging. But if a company has more great than good people, then it is highly likely that it's in the right track.

"Good is the enemy of great"
