Roll up your sleeves and get down to the business of building your customised solid bridge. This is very rewarding work.
It is the kind of work that shapes an average worker into a conscientious, intuitive, engaged and enthusiastic employee.
It is the kind of work that takes a regular employee and transforms him into a self-motivated, goal-oriented professional.
There are those who make such little impact that even when they leave, there is no need to replace them. Today I’m speaking to the indispensible people. Yes, there are still some of those around – you are one of them.
I realise that the song on anyone’s dispensability has been sung as fact for years. It is a lie. Nearly everyone I know is indispensible on some level. The challenge for each of them is the same, actually - they just don’t know it… yet.
If you can intentionally structure your indispensability for the world, then it will not only recognise, but also abundantly reward you for the value that you provide. On the other hand, if like most people, you are unable to explain your value in a way that people can easily and quickly understand, then the world doesn’t know what to do with you.
You risk being an inconsequential statistic in the organisation. If you’re lucky, you simply get ignored so much that even if they keep you you’ll be relegated to the back end of all the action and rewards.
I’ve been on both sides of that divide. It took me a while to figure out that I needed to raise my value to others to the point where they would want to work with me and only me.
That, right there is what coaches do. Coaches build bridges from where you are to where you want to go. They provide the building blocks and steel bars to help you build your bridge.
In the interest of clarity, the bridge-building materials are standard principles. The secret to a solid bridge to your destination is to start by making the standard principles extremely you-centric.
This high level of customisation is exactly what makes you the calibre of professional that is a must-have for every organisation.
If you already are in good employment, no one is letting you go anywhere in a hurry. They will hire, promote you, pay you well, offer you comfortable perks to ensure that you are too expensive for their rivals to easily poach.
If you’re an entrepreneur, there will be long queues for your service and even longer ones of those who would like to partner with you and work for you – even for free.
If you’re not yet hired, any interviewer will make you an offer you cannot refuse before your competitors can roll out of bed and put together their resumes.
In case you are wondering why the world has not realised that you are one of the indispensible ones, you’re yet to build the bridge to get you there.
If this sounds like it is for you, ask yourself if you have built the kind of bridge such that gets you there as the professional that they cannot afford not to have you on their team.
The world rarely takes time to go beyond your first two or three layers. It needs to immediately spot your indispensability. If not, it moves on to the next readily available option.
Roll up your sleeves and get down to the business of building your customised solid bridge. This is very rewarding work.
It is the kind of work that shapes an average worker into a conscientious, intuitive, engaged and enthusiastic employee.
It is the kind of work that takes a regular employee and transforms him into a self-motivated, goal-oriented professional.
It is the kind of work that takes a manager and transforms him into a driven, forward-thinking visionary leader that takes the organisation all the way to the top.
