www.sethgodin.com
measuring value, valuing contribution
Linchpin Quali,es:
Linchpins are the essenEal building blocks of great
organizaEons. Like the small piece of hardware that keeps a wheel from falling off its axle, they may not be famous but they're indispensable.” (Seth
Godin – Linchpin)
![Page 17: The DBA and the Long Game - Princeton Joint Professional ...princetonacm.acm.org/tcfpro/presentations/TCF2017_Mannan.pdf · Ziaul Mannan • Database Architect at Yale New Haven Health](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040314/5e14acedf39445010379b33d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Linchpin Qualities
Love their work, pour their best selves into it, and turn each day into a kind of art
Delight and challenge their customers and peers
Figure out what to do when there's no rule book
invent, lead (regardless of Jtle), connect others, make things happen, and create order out of chaos
Exert emo,onal labor to produce interacJons that organizaJons and people care deeply about

A Mentor’s Influence
Influence a parent -‐ influence a family
Influence a child -‐ influence a life
Influence an employee –influence a company
Influence a leader -‐ influence all that they lead
![Page 22: The DBA and the Long Game - Princeton Joint Professional ...princetonacm.acm.org/tcfpro/presentations/TCF2017_Mannan.pdf · Ziaul Mannan • Database Architect at Yale New Haven Health](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040314/5e14acedf39445010379b33d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
A Mentor’s Influence: IQ, EQ or CQ
22
IQ (intelligence quoJent): IQ helps us handle facts and analyze problems. But it does not help to manage people.
EQ (emoJonal intelligence): Helps understand people.
But o>en only people who like me.
CQ (Cultural Intelligence): Helps to work with and understand people from different background,
sectors, geographies and generaJon.
Good leaders need all three to lead effecJvely.
