Business Cliche

I just got back from a meeting where I was told that the most important thing in order for a business or agency to be effective is to have good people. The staff is what matters most. Not the computers, not the facilities, but the staff.

Just once, I'd like to see someone say that the computers are the most important thing. That would be awesome.

As David Brent put it:

"What is the single most important thing for a company? Is it the building? Is it the stock? Is it the turnover? It's the people, investment in people. My proudest moment here wasn't when I increased profits by seventeen per cent, or cut expenditure without losing a single member of staff. No. It was a young Greek guy, first job in the country, hardly spoke a word of English, but he came to me and he went, 'Mr. Brent, will you be the Godfather to my child?', so. (beat) Didn't happen in the end. We had to let him go, he was rubbish. He was rubbish."
