If you have or want your own business or you are a manager this book is a must read

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 19, 2022

Eye opening, easy to read, super valuable information.
If you are an employee that thrives more, read this. You might be an impact player and you might even be on the wrong team.
If you are a manager, you want to read this.
If you are a business owner (or an aspiring one) and you have time for only one book this week (or month), pick this one. So much information, you won't regret it.

Best book to become the impact player in your niche

Some think you become great on the big stage under the bright lights but the light only reveals the work you did in the dark.

This book reveals the secret of how to become an impact player in your organization as most people struggle and get stuck going through the motions.We mostly like to go to organizations where we get applause or appreciation from people or leaders, but at the same time we forget that we lose touch with reality and avoid situations that expose our weaknesses but those who have courage and face the reality become impact player. The author has neatly shared all the recipes in a very easy to understand language.

In the book Author describes the types of challenges that are increasingly being faced in modern organisations, unclear problems, unclear roles, unclear constraints, rising targets and incredible demands and how we can overcome these difficulties to become impact players.

🍁𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿'𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲🍁

Based on a study of 170 top professionals, Wiseman identifies the mindsets that prevent otherwise smart, capable people from living up to their full potential, and the five practices that differentiate Impact Players:

While others do their job, Impact Players figure out the real job to be done.
• While others wait for direction, Impact Players step up and lead.
Players are learning and adapting to change.
• While others add to the load, Impact Players make heavy demands feel lighter.

Wiseman makes clear that these practices-and the right mindset-can help any employee contribute their best and shows leaders how they can raise the level of play for everyone on the team.

It's a must read for today's leaders, managers, entrepreneurs and it's also a guide for parents, teachers and workplace advisers.

Liz Wiseman has done it again. Just like Multipliers (which you should definitely read if you haven't), Impact Players presents a framework that is exactly what we need in our ever-evolving workplace. As more and more people move to remote work and it is harder for employees to have their work recognized by leaders who no longer see them every day, Impact Players provides helpful guidelines for employees to ensure that they are making a difference. Multipliers focused heavily on how to be a better manager, and Impact Players is the perfect companion guide for individual contributors. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to truly make a difference in their work!

You don't need a title to be a leader!

This book is a great resource for anyone who wants to make a bigger impact at work. It's filled with ideas and tools for increasing your contribution and leadership from wherever you sit in your organization. I especially liked The Playbook (starting on page 59 and see page 60 diagram in the pic) with the ideas for identifying What's Important Now for your organization and your leader and then combining this with your own capabilities to find opportunities to make important contributions - everyone W.I.N.s :)

Liz gives the best frameworks to become an Impact Player!

Have you asked yourself this question:

Why do some people break through and make an impact while others get stuck going through the motions?

The short answer is because those who break through are IMPACT PLAYERS!

The long answer is shared in amazing depth with effective examples and frameworks by Liz Wiseman in her new book: Impact Players.

Liz reveals the secrets of these stellar professionals who play the game at a higher level.

While sharing the mindsets and tactical steps to take to become an Impact Player!

One of my favorite parts is she shares what is causing smart, capable people from contributing to their full potential.

Through all of my self-help/business book reading, I have learned it is powerful to learn what TO DO but it is even more powerful to gain awareness of your habits or mindsets that are holding you back and essentially learn what NOT TO DO.

You will learn all of this in Liz’s book: Impact Players.

Leadership doesn’t just happen at the top

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 23, 2021

Liz Wiseman’s latest book intelligently addresses an issue I have had with the management literature for a number of years.

In our increasingly complex work environments, organizational excellence doesn’t only come from formal leaders. Everyone in the organization has an impact, for better or worse. We have plenty of management books on leadership behaviors for those in charge. This book focuses on how everyone else impacts the organization, defining the key attributes of individuals who have an outsized positive impact, regardless of their position.

As Wiseman describes in her book, the types of challenges increasingly faced in modern organizations are messy problems, with unclear roles, unclear obstacles, moving targets, and unrelenting demands. Mere contributors see these as a distraction from their job, a reason to look for leadership, an added hassle, a detour from their strengths, and a reason to ask for help. Impact players see these as a chance to be useful, an opportunity to provide leadership, a chance to do it better, a reason to build new capabilities, and a need to work together.

Impact players don’t just do their job—they do the job that’s needed. They don’t just wait for direction—they step up, then step back. They don’t just escalate issues—they overcome obstacles and finish stronger. They don’t just stick to what they know best—they ask and adjust. And they don’t add to the burden by mindlessly asking for help—they work to make work light for others.

The great thing about Wiseman’s research findings is that anyone can have a positive impact—in fact, it’s not even that hard. It’s mainly a matter of being a good team player.

Most people in organizations are not in leadership roles, and almost no leader has had a leadership title from the beginning of their career. True leadership is a set of behaviors that can be practiced from any perch. Those who exemplify the behaviors in this book likely will become formal leaders, but they already are leaders, even if they don’t have a title.
