"Humans aren't a resource to be bought, used and discarded - they are the point of the workplace, the life essence of innovation, growth and success."

From the bestselling author of Purple Cow and This Is Marketing comes an urgent manifesto for leaders facing unprecedented challenges in a rapidly-changing workplace.

The workplace has undergone a massive shift. Remote work and economic instability have depressed innovation and left us disconnected and disengaged. Paychecks no longer buy loyalty, happiness, and effort. Quiet quitting runs rampant, and people show up without truly showing up. Alarmed managers are doubling down on keystroke surveillance, productivity tracking and back-to-the-office mandates, when what they should be doing is the opposite - affording employees the dignity necessary to inject purpose and motivation into their work.

In The Song of Significance, legendary author and business thinker Seth Godin posits a new view of what industry leaders must do now. If you want your employees to live up to their full professional potential, you must give them the respect and autonomy they deserve as humans. The choice is simple: either keep treating your people as disposable and join in the AI-fueled race to the bottom, or build a significant organization that enrolls, empowers, and trusts employees to deliver their best work, no matter where they're working.

El marketing lleva tanto tiempo entre nosotros que lo damos por hecho. Como el pez que no entiende el agua en el que vive, no vemos lo que realmente está pasando y no nos damos cuenta de cómo nos está cambiando. Ha llegado la hora de hacer algo más. De mejorar las cosas. De provocar el cambio que te gustaría ver en el mundo.
Gracias a estas páginas aprenderás a construir lazos de confianza con tu mercado objetivo; a posicionarte –decidir no sólo para quién es tu producto, sino para quién no es–; a alcanzar tus metas mientras ayudas a otros; a desterrar los viejos enfoques de publicidad y marca que ya no funcionan; y, entre muchas otras cosas, a dominar e impulsar cualquier decisión de compra.
No importa cuál sea el producto o servicio con el que trabajes: este libro te ayudará a replantearte cómo presentarlo al mundo, cómo conectar realmente con las personas que deseas y cómo conseguir no sólo que quieran comprarlo sino que estén orgullosas de haberlo hecho.

In this 'compelling, accessible and purpose-filled book,' (Alan Webber, Founder, Fast Company) bestselling business author Seth Godin shows how you have the potential to make a big difference-and make yourself indispensable in the process-wherever you are.

Why are some people easily outsourced, downsized, or freelanced into obscurity, while others have their pick of opportunities? In his most powerful book yet, Seth Godin argues that it's more essential than ever to become indispensable - to become a linchpin. Linchpins are the essential building blocks of great organizations: they invent, lead (regardless of title), connect others, make things happen, and create order out of chaos. They love their work and pour their best selves into it and turn each day into a kind of art - and, in today's world, they get the best jobs and the most freedom.

Godin shows that the key to being indispensable is overcoming the fears that hold most of us back. If you have you ever found a shortcut that others missed, seen a new way to resolve a conflict, or made a connection with someone others couldn't reach, then you have what it takes to become indispensable. It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map.

'Thousands of authors write business books every year, but only a handful reach star status and the A-list lecture circuit. Fewer still - one, to be exact - can boast his own action figure. . .Godin delivers his combination of counterintuitive thinking and a great sense of fun' BusinessWeek
