Are you Essential?

This is a question worth asking yourself periodically.

From time to time we're all guilty of getting into a rut at work - slogging through paperwork, handling routine requests. In most companies, what we do is necessary, but are we essential?

Essential implies belonging to the very nature of a thing and therefore being incapable of removal without destroying the thing itself or its character

What are you bringing to your job that no one else could? Attitude? Efficiency? Ideas? Execution? How vital are you to your company?

Would your fellow employees vote you to the company All Star team?

Better to ask (and answer) this question for yourself, than have someone ask it for you.
