Indispensable: How to Succeed at Your First Job and Beyond

Too often, we fail to receive the coaching that we need to succeed in the workplace. Instead, we are left to figure it out for ourselves, learning by trial and error in a competitive and sometimes cutthroat world. In Indispensable, leadership development expert Meredith Whipple Callahan outlines how employees early in their careers can maximize their potential in the workplace.

Drawing from her own experiences and those of other high performers, Callahan offers sophisticated and pragmatic advice to help you to start strong in your career, increase productivity, and build professional development. With the tools in this book, you will learn how to raise issues in a direct and diplomatic way, contribute beyond your formal role, and communicate effectively by bringing context, purpose, and structure.

Altogether, Indispensable gives a comprehensive view into what allows employees to excel and become indispensable to their organizations. For employees in the first decade of their careers, it is nothing short of required reading.
