Human Resource
Management Issues
The primary issue is
that people want to be challenged. People want to be challenged, at least
initially, in terms of their assignments. They also want to be continuously
challenged. If I have great success, I want to keep moving and want more, which
is always a good thing. I mean, I’m a free-market person. I’m a
dyed-in-the-wool, free-market person, and if employees can deliver results and
they can help change the game; I think that is a big achievement for young
people. This helps them meet their desires to be challenged in a work environment.
There is one more dimension, and that is, in today’s workplace young people
come out and they want to do meaningful work. It is about creating companies
where you eliminate wasted time, and you eliminate things that do not add value
so that people really do spend their time doing things that they feel are
valued in the market, valued by them personally, and also valued by your
shareholders.
Question: Why does
senior management often fail to realize the value of human assets versus other
organizational assets?
