Your people ARE your most important asset. By the way, that includes YOU, the business owner.

That being the case, your company's overall near-term health and long-term outlook may very well depend on your people. Your people need to be challenged and in the right job. They need to know how their job fits into the overall scheme of things and how THEY make an impact in the business.

If they are not clear on where you are going with the company, they can't help to get you where you want to go. They also need to be fairly compensated, trained, and have something to look forward to.
