English term or phrase: scarcest resource
Today’s executives spend a lot of time managing the balance sheet, despite the fact that it doesn’t represent their company’s scarcest resource. Financial capital is relatively abundant and cheap

What does it mean scarcest resource in this context?
I will be grateful if you translate the whole sentence.

Thanks for your efforts

أشد الموارد ندرة / شُحّاً
Explanation:
الكثير من وقتهم في إدارة (كشف الميزانية / بيان الميزانية) برغم أنه ليس أشد الموارد ندرة في شركاتهم.. (يتابع بالقول: "إن أشد الموارد ندرة في الشركات تتمثل في الموارد البشرية / رأس المال البشري").

Today’s executives spend a lot of time managing the balance sheet, despite the fact that it doesn’t represent their company’s scarcest resource...

In contrast, today’s scarcest resource is your human capital, as measured by the time, talent and energy of your workforce. Time, whether measured by hours in a day or days in a career, is finite. Difference-making talent is also scarce. The average company considers only about 15% of its employees to be difference makers. Finding, developing, and retaining this talent is hard — so much so that the business press refers to a “war” for talent. Energy, too, is difficult to come by.

الوقت هو أسرع الموارد نضوبا


Explanation:
بعد البحث أغلب ما وجدت يشار إليه بهذا المصطلح هو الوقت
:
وربما تكون الترجمة
واليوم يقضي المدييرون التنفيذيون وقتا طويلا في إدارة الميزانية
بالرغم من أنها ليست أسرع موار المؤسسة نضوبا (ربما يكون المقصود الأهم أكثرها قيمة). ورأس المال النقدي أكثر منه وفرة وأقل تكلفة
