The Irrelevant Career VI

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. The Goal gives examples of the Theory of Constraints. In this theory the assumption is that there is at least one task, called a constraint, which is limiting how much can be produced. The only way more can be produced is if this constraint's output is increased. Any other improvement is irrelevant.
If you increase your job productivity, and your job is not a constraint to the entire system you're a part of, then your improvement is irrelevant. It's only the job which is a constraint where true system improvement can be achieved.
Think of it as a chain which is as only as strong as its weakest link. If your job is not the weakest link, you will not improve the strength of the chain by improving your job function. The chain can only get stronger if the weakest link is strengthened.
Do not focus on your own career, because it is irrelevant on its own. Focus on the constraints in your system to become relevant.

Regards,
Irrelevant
