IERUs

IERU stands for "Interchangeable Engineering Resource Unit" and is a large corporations idea of a "Person". I believe people are the most important asset of any corporation. People are not interchangeable, some people do really well at doing there jobs, they are focused and they understand what's going on.

Then there are the "others". The one's who don't seem to quite get it, the one's who only understand their world and don't get the big picture. They don't seem to know how to get things right.

It's not really as simple as that, but, for now, that's how I'm saying it is. Some people, when allowed to their job, can do wonderful things. The good one's can't simply be replaced with other people who struggle to do a good job. When people that do a good job are found...hang onto them!

If you have a person who doesn't quite get it, look for a job for them that they do get. Everyone does a good job at something. The trick is to find what people are good at...and then put them into that job.

Remember, people are the most important asset at a company, whether they acknowledge it or not. The leaders need to know and figure it out.
