About this listen
There used to be two teams in every workplace: management and labor. Now there’s a third team, the linchpins. These people invent, lead (regardless of title), connect others, make things happen, and create order out of chaos. They figure out what to do when there’s no rule book. They delight and challenge their customers and peers. They love their work, pour their best selves into it, and turn each day into a kind of art.
Linchpins are the essential building blocks of great organizations. Like the small piece of hardware that keeps a wheel from falling off its axle, they may not be famous but they’re indispensable. And in today’s world, they get the best jobs and the most freedom. Have you ever found a shortcut that others missed? Seen a new way to resolve a conflict? Made a connection with someone others couldn’t reach? Even once? Then you have what it takes to become indispensable, by overcoming the resistance that holds people back.
As Godin writes, “Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been bullied enough or frightened enough to hold it back. It’s time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.”

"It's easy to see why people pay to hear what he has to say." (Time)
"Thousands of authors write business books every year, but only a handful reach star status and the A-list lecture circuit. Fewer still - one, to be exact - can boast his own action figure. . . . Godin delivers his combination of counterintuitive thinking and a great sense of fun." (BusinessWeek)
"If Seth Godin didn't exist we'd need to invent him - that's how indispensable he is! You hold in your hands a compelling, accessible, and purpose-filled book. Read it, and do yourself a big favor. Your future will thank you!" (Alan Webber, Founder, Fast Company)

Great insight into what goes in making a linchpin
Book comes up with refreshing ideas which a actually quite actionable. Seth avoids being preachy but get his idea delivered. Only part I did not like was repetitiveness of ideas and reading by Seth. A professional reader can do wonders here.

The action of a winner is always an art
While reading this book, I constantly remembered the adage "Winners don't do different things. They do things differently.", made famous by Shiv Khera in his book You Can Win.
The action of a winner is always an art and not just a routine action. If it's routine action or just a reflex, it's only a commodity. The commodities are bland and widespread, and their prices are almost standard with slight variation.
The initial part of this book is amazing, and as we read on, we get bored a bit, as any non-fiction book naturally seems to be rhetoric.
It is worth reading this book, not only by any corporate employee but by all in competition.
