“I have done my work.
Just go through it.
And when there are errors, I will correct them.”
This is sadly one of the reasons most of us do not end up becoming linchpins.
Because instead of thinking about becoming indispensable, we end up leaving our work undone and filled with errors.
When our managers go through our work, instead of trusting it has been done well, they have to re-do it.
Perhaps re-do their definition of how responsible we are.
Our brand is built by what we do.
And if we leave our work for others to give a finishing touch to, that is the brand we are building on.
Our work is our signature.
So are our errors.
