Description

From the bestselling author of No Bullsh*t Leadership comes an indispensable guide on how to thrive and become a priceless asset in the workplace. The working world has changed. In an era where the cost of living is rising and competition is rife, it's no longer good enough to have a university degree, a cushy corporate job and a strong work ethic. More and more, people have to stand out to make it. Knowing how to become indispensable is more important than ever - whether that's as a junior employee just starting out, a mid-level manager looking to take the next step, or a senior leader who needs to keep their skills sharp and their mind fresh. Not every indispensable employee is the same - you might be a smart innovator, or a reliable worker bee, or something else entirely - but the principles that underline indispensability are consistent. From perfecting your attitude and applying your aptitude perfectly, to improving your negotiation skills and learning how to network like a champion, Indispensable is the guide to workplace excellence that you didn't know you needed.
