The most powerful way to be indispensible...

...Is to make yourself totally, and absolutely dispensible. In other words, to know that your career and success is down to you, not to the job you happen to be doing at the moment. Your company needs you far more than you need them.

How?...

Be yourself, speak your mind openly, honestly and constructively, and work on your inner self-confidence and self-belief, which by the way is very different from arrogance. One of the biggest challenges facing organisations in the 21st century is not how many people take work home, it is how many people bring themselves to work.

PS How to ensure you leave Las Vegas with one million dollars - arrive with two.
