Thanks go out to my friend Dan McCarthy of the Great Leadership blog for featuring my post, “What Is It That Only You Can Do?” In ten years of executive coaching, I’ve found that’s a really important question for leaders to consider. There are some caveats in answering the question, however. For starters, it’s not about being indispensable. For more on this Coachable Moment from the new edition of The Next Level, head on over to Dan’s blog.

A lot to say in such a short post. I think the idea of becoming indispensable has become synonymous with job security when in actuality the value in you IS you. Each individual brings a lot to a table but if they are only focusing on what they don't want others to know, in order to remain the one who knows, they are greatly hindering the synergy of their teams and keeping the value that there a secret.
