Not a bad way to increase shareholder value, but it can be a miserable way to work. I think Seth's point in Linchpin is that real, exponential value is almost always created when people decide to confront their fear of "what might happen if I __________?" I took it more as a personal challenge than an organizational mandate. He talked about that a little on our podcast (http://www.accidentalcreative.com/podcasts).

All I can say is its about time. Should be required reading for all Christian leaders. No... back-up it should be required reading for ALL Christians, after the Bible, of course.

Thought I would say that before my question. Some might say a business shouldn't have indispensable people in it. No one should be indispensable. Is this a danger in the direction Seth has set?
