Episode notes

When there's messy problems, the ordinary contributor does their job and the impact player does the job that needs to be done. When roles are unclear, ordinary contributors are waiting for direction, waiting for someone to appoint them. The impact players step up and lead but they're also quick to step back. And it's not that they do other people's work for them. It's that they're easy to work with. They're low.

Liz Wiseman coaches both up-and-coming performers and established leaders on how to help others improve. She is the CEO of the Wiseman Group, a leadership research and development firm with clients such as Apple, Disney, Facebook and Google. She is a frequent guest lecturer at BYU and Stanford, and has been recognized previously by Thinkers50 as the top leadership thinker in the world.

Liz joined host Robert Glazer on the Elevate Podcast to discuss Impact Players, how employees can increase their impact and advancement opportunities, and how leaders can cultivate and elevate Impact Players on their teams.
