episode 297: Making Yourself Indispensable: Will it protect your job?
Episode #297 // “If you ever find yourself thinking, "How could the company possibly do without me?" Well, trust me, they'll work it out!”
For as long as I can remember, the business media has been awash with stories about the job market… how to get a job, how to keep a job, how to juggle your job with other demands, and how to climb the corporate ladder.
Since the Covid pandemic, it seems as though the volume of this advice has grown exponentially.
The most recent article to catch my eye, from the Wall Street Journal, discusses the concept of indispensability… it exposes the startling revelation that being indispensable might not necessarily provide you with the bulletproof job security that you thought it would.
For leaders, the indispensability landscape is very different. How should you approach this conundrum? What does it mean for you and your team?
In this episode, I take a look at the WSJ article, bringing some practical balance and perspective, and then I give you my 3 hot tips for making yourself invaluable, without trying to be indispensable.
