Don’t Be Replaceable

If you were the person who just got back from a two-week vacation and no one missed you, be concerned.  You’re replaceable and maybe even non-essential.

You may think that flying under the radar is a good career strategy, but given the competition in today’s market, you’re better off being seen as an important contributor, not just a cog in the system.

Want to be seen?

Find opportunities to:

  • Be the one people come to because you know everything about the business
  • Be the one who gets promoted because you crush your current position
  • Be the one who the boss relies on to help them sleep better at night
  • Be the one who innovates and creates improvements without being asked
  • Be the first one to show up and the last one to leave, every day

What are you doing to ensure you’re not replaceable in your organization?
