Being an enterprise linchpin - Enterprise 2.0

Recently, I read the new business book by Seth Godin, Linchpin: Are you indispensible? which is a must-have for any modern person’s bookshelf. The major premise of the book is that there are no more great jobs that pay well where someone tells you what to do.

Let me repeat that, because jobs where someone tells you exactly what to do have been a stable of hierarchical organizations for a long time now. There are no more great jobs where someone tells you what to do.

The reason is that every job simple enough for a manager to tell their employees exactly what to do can be outsourced or automated, eventually. Even if you currently have a well-paying job where someone tells you what to do all day, how long will it last?
