How To Become An Irreplaceable Employee During COVID

Ever make the mistake of watching a scary movie right before bed?

One night back in early in March, I was ready to turn out the lights, and I made the mistake of reading an article that was my version of a bad movie. It haunted me, then instructed me. It has proven to be prophetic. Andy Crouch and a couple of colleagues penned “Leading Beyond the Blizzard.” You should read it, just not right before bed.

Basically, the authors asked, “Is the pandemic going to be a disruption that’s like a bad blizzard (that lasts a week or so), a long winter (a mess for a few months), or a mini Ice Age (uh oh).” They predicted that we would be looking at a mini Ice Age. In other words, they believed we weren’t looking at a super-fast recovery. We wouldn’t be looking at an event that only lasted until summer. Rather, we would be facing a very rare circumstance that would deeply affect the job market for the next 12-18 months. Six months into COVID, I’d say they were clairvoyant.
