Are you a “go-to” person? How do you show up at work in a way that gains trust and makes you an essential and indispensable member of the team? These are important questions to answer right now as many teams are being re-built and companies need to rely on their staff to come through more than ever. Today we welcome back to the show, regular guest and one of my favorite authors on leadership, career, and management, Bruce Tulgan!
Bruce is the founder of Rainmaker Thinking and the author of more than 20 books including the best selling “It’s OK to be the Boss” and “The 27 Challenges Managers Face” He is regarded the world over as a leading authority on management and leadership and is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review and many other international publications.
Bruce’s brand new book, The Art of Being Indispensable at Work, cracks the code and, in typical fashion for his work, gives a practical and detailed road map for how to become the go-to person in your cafe without succumbing to burn-out and over commitment.
It is a book that is the epitome of timeliness as we seek to create value in our roles that leads to more security, trust, and growth. This is a very critical subject. Not only to apply to your own career, but also to help you facilitate these behaviors in those you lead.

- What is true influence
- Steps to being a go-to person
- Mistakes we make and beating overcommitment
