How to Succeed at Your First Job and Beyond

Many employees never get the guidance they need to do well at work, and end up learning through trial and error. Indispensable is a practical guide for closing that gap.

Drawing on Meredith’s work with leaders and on the experiences of high performers, the book covers how to start strong, build professional habits, stay curious about the larger context of your work, increase your productivity, communicate clearly, raise difficult issues diplomatically, and contribute beyond your formal job description. The aim is to become someone an organization cannot easily do without.

It is written for people in roughly their first decade of work, including recent graduates and career changers, and it gives managers a useful starting point for onboarding new hires.
