An Ok collection of anecdotes on what it takes to make an outstanding organization. Similar to Good to Great but without the research and data.

Review: Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?

Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?
Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? by Seth Godin

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Read in December, 2010

The premise for Linchpin is excellent and sound, but I find that most of the book lacks substance and is more of a motivational ra-ra. The first 50 pages are inspirational as are the back 10. Maybe this might have served better as a series of blog posts instead of a book.
