An organisation’s most important asset is its people. I’d bet 99% of business leaders would tell you that’s true. Yet, many still routinely under equip their workforce with the tools they need. Managers typically look at employee productivity through the lens of whether a job function is adequately performed and how much value that work generates for the company. What they seem to do less often is look at their employees’ capacity to contribute to innovation and growth, says Mark Mader, CEO at Smartsheet.
