I've had this book on the shelf for some time and finally got around to reading it. This is a book that everyone who manages people should read. What's great about it, it that Ms. Fields correctly points out the interconnectedness of organizations with the community and approaches the hiring and retention process strategically. The tools and company spotlights are also very helpful. Thank you for this gift. My employees will benefit.

Martha knows whereof she speaks, she is always on the cutting edge of business and people issues. To maximize your human resources capital, buy and devour and digest this book. It puts a perspective back into the management equation that got lost somehow along the way. The adjective in the title of this book says it all: indispenable!

Martha Fields has put her finger on a key issue for business success and companies would be wise to follow her guidance. Hiring and nurturing good people in any organization is an essential ingredient to positive workplaces and the bottom line. Companies that neglect their human resources will never survive today's competitive marketplace. Martha has years of impressive experience as a management consultant, so this book gives you the inside story on how to become indispensible to your company and what to expect in return. This book is a must read for individuals and organizations alike.

Companies that truly value employees should read this book.
The strategies outlined would also benefit employees who who are seeking to increase their currency with a company. I was struck by the quote: "The future is bright for indispensable employees with thick skins, nerves of steel and fresh eyes..." The information is very timely; particularly in the current
turbulent environment.
