    What we want, what we need, what we must have are indispensable human beings. We need original thinkers, provocateurs, and people who care. We need marketers who can lead, salespeople able to risk making a human connection, passionate change makers willing to be shunned if it is necessary for them to make a point. Every organization needs a linchpin, the one person who can bring it together and make a difference. Some organizations haven't realized this yet, or haven't articulated it, but we need artists.
    Artists are people with a genius for finding a new answer, a new connection, or a new way of getting things done.
    That would be you.

Instead, you recognize the opportunity of becoming indispensable, highly sought after, and unique. If a Purple Cow is a product that's worth talking about, the indispensable employee--I call her a linchpin--is a person who's worth finding and keeping.

    Now, if you're a linchpin, doing a job that's not getting done is essential.

    When what you do is what you love, you're able to invest more effort and care and time. That means you're more likely to win, to gain share, to profit

    These are internal choices, not external factors. How we respond to the opportunities and challenges of the outside world now determines how much the outside world values us.
