If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

Being the "go-to" person feels good. It feels like job security.

But if you are the only one who can run the report, fix the bug, or close the deal, you haven't built a team. You have built a trap.

If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

Management literally cannot move you to a bigger role if your current department collapses without you. You become a victim of your own competence.

Don't hoard knowledge to feel safe. Share it to get free. True leaders don't create followers. They create successors.

Automate yourself out of your current job today so you are free to lead tomorrow.
