Just finished listening to Seth Godins book Linchpin as an audiobook on my iPhone. It's all about how to become indispensable in your life either as an employee, a business owner or whatever.
As Seth points out, becoming indispensable is not easy and is usually entirely the responsibility of the individual rather than the organisation within which the individual is practising or offering their skills and output.
I did find the book strangely motivating and Seth does cover in some detail the characteristics that define and indispensable person. I was also intrigued by the fact the Set defines a linchpin as being artistic and their output as art.
While I do consider myself as a linchpin, I have always thought of myself as a Scientist and scientific in the way I go about my work. Now, it seems I can legitimately call myself an artist…at least if Seth Godins definition has any merit.

It is as it is.
