FS Extra 👣 Be irreplaceable (and why you need to be)
Published: Sun, 09/24/23
Enjoy reading Will Chou’s book review of “Linchpin” by Seth Godin.
Linchpin covers a topic that every person who wants to thrive in the workplace should work on: being indispensable and irreplaceable.
The main premise of the book is that the modern world has changed things.
Here's Will's take on this book
Seth argues that you must be a linchpin in order to succeed. A linchpin is something that holds together the whole organization, similar to a keystone for a bridge. If the linchpin or keystone gets destroyed or removed, everything falls apart.
In the same way, you need to be invaluable to the operation of the entire organization.
Seth takes it a step further and says that you need to be incredibly valuable to the point of being irreplaceable or rare, not just required for the function of an organization.
There’s a clear difference.
