Each person in your organization is unique
and has an irreplaceable set of gifts, talents,
skills, and passions that cannot be found
anywhere else. Too many leaders labor
under the pernicious paradigm that people
are interchangeable, that one worker equals
another, that they can easily replace one
person with another person.
Or leaders toss out the dull cliché that "our
people are our most important assets." But
people are not assets. An asset is something
you own — a human being cannot treated like a
machine.
The old industrial paradigm that an employee
is an interchangeable cog in the machine is
the most important reason why people are
disengaged in the workplace, refusing to give
the "extra effort." That's why the most important
job to be done now is to replace that paradigm
with a new paradigm: that every person is
uniquely powerful. Your job as a leader is to
unleash that power.
THE JOB USED
TO BE…
THE JOB THAT YOU
MUST DO NOW…
Do more with less Unleash and engage
people to do infinitely
more than you
imagined they could.

management for many years. We've trained
more than 25 million people and enabled that
learning with our famous Franklin Planner

far deeper than just managing units of time.
In the Knowledge Worker Age, we have
specific challenges that can leave us feeling
unaccomplished and weary at the end of
the day.
