Make Your Value Hard to Replace
Build specific, visible contributions that would be costly to lose, so your leverage rests on real dependence rather than personal charm.
Leverage is quiet until the day someone imagines working without you.

WHY IT WORKS
People rarely value general effort, but they notice specific losses: the person who knows the system, holds the key relationship or produces a result nobody else can. Making those contributions visible and documented converts invisible effort into recognised value.
WHEN TO USE IT
- You feel interchangeable in a client relationship or role.
- You plan to negotiate terms within the next several months.
WHEN NOT TO USE IT
- You would need to withhold information or hoard knowledge to create dependence.
- Your goal is to leave soon and a clean handover matters more.
SIGNALS IT FITS
- Your work is described in generic terms by others.
- Nobody would notice for a week if you stopped a key task.

ETHICAL BOUNDARY
Value should come from what you contribute, not from withholding. Never make yourself 'irreplaceable' by hiding information others need.
