In today’s knowledge-based economy, your earning ability is generally determined by ten factors:

Educational attainment or specialized skills.
Chosen profession and specialization.
Years of experience.
Attitude and work ethic.
Social skills.
Competence and proficiency.
Ability to cooperate with, inspire and lead others.
Ambition — how hungry are you?
Willingness to go the extra mile.
Dependability — can you be counted on to deliver results.

For the purposes of this message, we are going to focus on the virtue of dependability.

Why?

Because, if you’re not dependable…you’re expendable.

To be dependable is to be trustworthy, consistent and reliable.

Dependability is a massive value proposition…and a key competitive advantage.

To be expendable is to be of little significance when COMPARED to an overall purpose or mission, and therefore able to be abandoned.

Taking it one step further…being expendable means that something or someone is more easily or economically replaced than rescued, salvaged, or protected.

If there is one quality that executives seek for themselves and their employees more than any other…it is dependability, sustained high performance in the face of ever-increasing pressure and rapid change.

More and more, now and in the future…everything and everyone is listed under the categories of being dependable and of value…or expendable and of little value when compared to the overall mission of a team, project or organization.

THINK AND ACT LIKE AN ATHLETE

Look at yourself through the same lens as you would a professional athlete.

How often do you hear of a professional athlete that was in the spotlight last year, but no longer even mentioned in conversation today?

It happens all the time.

Take a major league pitcher for example.


Sometimes it takes years to make it to the majors, but when they do, they had better perform on demand or very quickly they are deemed expendable and demoted back to the minors and replaced by someone who can.

When it comes to professional athletes…all performances and contributions (hitting, running, fielding and pitching) are measured and compared against the overall mission of the team — TO WIN.

If they are not dependable, if they are not making a significant contribution to the mission, to putting wins on the board…they are expendable.

That’s about as raw, simple and direct as it gets.

The same principle applies to you and your overall performance and contribution.

If you are concerned at all about your future place in society…I advise focusing on this key question:

“What can I contribute that will significantly impact the mission, performance, and overall results of the institution or community I serve?”

Once you answer that question…focus on driving dependable results.

In a world filled with volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity…the only safe assumption you can make right now is that it’s best for you to step up your game and play at a superior level.

The upside of that assumption is that there’s absolutely no downside to that assumption.

IN CLOSING

Whether you like it or not, you and I are measured by our results…our unique and consistent contribution to the overall mission or purpose.

Therefore be dependable…focus on driving results…focus on adding value…focus on solving problems…and most important, focus on increasing your contribution to the overall mission.

Because in the end…

If you’re not dependable, you’re expendable!
