Linchpin shows you why your work should no longer be about simply following instructions, but making yourself indispensable.

The thing with Seth Godin is that somehow, no matter what he comes up with next, it always fits perfectly into his overall message.

The more of his books you read, the more you get the complete picture and a philosophy to live by.

As Godin says, he doesn't want to teach you tactics. He wants to teach you how to see. In that case, your eyes still feel like you're opening them for the first time.

Linchpin is all about becoming indispensable at work. Following instructions isn't what we need any longer - we're already outsourcing most of this anyway. If robots are to take over the rest, we need to find another way to find ourselves success.
