Linchpin

buy antabuse online usa Seth Godin‘s new book,  http://frescohealth.com/product/cornmeal-yellow/?add-to-cart=25911 Linchpin:  Are You Indispensable?, proposes that there are three teams in every workplace: management, labor, and a new team — linchpins.

Linchpins, Godin suggests, “invent, lead (regardless of title), connect others, make things happen, and create order out of chaos. They figure out what to do when there’s no rule book. They delight and challenge their customers and peers. They love their work, pour their best selves into it, and turn each day into a kind of art.”

Godin challenges us to “make an indispensable contribution to something you care about.”  We think that’s a great challenge.

• What do you care about in your organization?  Are you excited about the direction your organization is headed?  Are you building a culture that engages your customers?
• Do you understand your personal strengths well enough to know where you can make a unique contribution?
• Have you connected your strengths to the challenges and opportunities your organization faces?

Let us know where you see this happening.  Tell us about the Linchpins in your workplace!
