Everything about business comes down to PEOPLE.
Where in business can we escape the impact of
human care, human creativity, human commitment,
human frustration, and human despair? There is no
reason for anything in business to exist if it does not
serve the needs of people.
-Bruce Cryer, Re-Engineering the Human System
