Many years ago, Seth Godin wrote a book called Linchpin.
We've used it as an induction tool at the practice for many people, many times over the years.
The thing about being a linchpin or trying to be a linchpin is that if you do that, almost everything else falls into place.
How can I be the best version of myself in order to be indispensable to the people that I care about?
It means that you become better, and it becomes better, and they become better, and we all become better; no one is indispensable, ever, but that shouldn't stop you from trying to be indispensable.
Lynchpins are the most valuable people, financially, emotionally, and reputationally.
I don't think you find linchpins.
I think you help empower people to become linchpins.
