Linchpins: The Culture of Connections
Linchpins….Are You Indispensable?
The Culture of Connections thru Summary The chapter I read was written by Seth Godin. He goes in depth on the many qualities of a linchpin and how to become one. A linchpin is a very important unique person or thing in a company. The linchpin basically holds a company of group together. I chose this topic because I feel I am a unique, charismatic person. In many ways, I feel I am indispensable to some people. I am a linchpin to my family. Whenever there is a problem or a lot of chaos, my family can always count on me to calm everyone down and bring laughter to a room. The book chapter was mainly about finding yourself; striving to be a linchpin. If you look at yourself and all of your qualities, are you a linchpin? Are you indispensable? Linchpins have their own way of thinking and figuring out a problem. There is no need for a manual on how to figure out problem solving. It comes naturally to a linchpin. The chapter states that obtaining deep domain knowledge changes things. Combining unique ideas, knowledge and making smart decisions increases chances for success. Lester Wunderman used the technique of direct marketing. He introduced the world to the ideas of understanding strategy and decision making. This made it easier to map out plans and understand others deeper than what they let off. This illustrates one who is good at organizing for a company. In a company, organizing ideas in a unique way that works for everyone is a gift. This skill is something that can be learned and you can always get better at it. I agree completely with this book. It makes me feel like anyone can be indispensable. Godin basically says you can train yourself to matter and be indispensable. Everyone is not born with special talents that distinguish them from another person. If you are not born with the talent, go out and discover your talent. Work hard a being the best you and discover those unique linchpin qualities. A linchpin sees no fear
