Finding People


When I was new to the workforce, talented people and good ideas were in high supply.  What was hard was getting the resources—money, facilities, infrastructure—to put both to use.  

Later, with the internet fueled tech boom, what became valuable were the good ideas.  Everyone sought the industry disrupting business concept.  

Today, money, resources, and even great ideas are widely available.  What’s hard is finding the people.  


Make no mistake, the current labor crunch is not (entirely) cyclical.  It’s structural.  [See The Next Killer Competency]
