Impact Players

Liz Wiseman has written a research based book on leadership entitled Impact Players: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact. 

5 Practices Of Impact Players

1. Do the job that’s needed: while other’s do their job, Impact Players do the job that’s needed.

2. Step up, step back: while others wait for direction, Impact Players step up and lead (when needed, and step back when the need is over). 

3. Finish stronger: while others escalate problems, Impact Players move things across the finish line.

4. Ask and adjust: while others attempt to minimize change, Impact Players learn and adapt to change.

5. Make work light: while others add to the load, Impact Players make heavy demands feel lighter.

Impact Players don’t run from the wave and get tossed around by it, like a wise surfer or ocean swimmer, they dive into the wave.
