I think it's what contributes to the burn out. If i just go from task to task to task without really seeing the through line, then i almost feel like i'm just a cog and some one else could do my work. It is so easy and natural to assume that burnout is the result of too much work. But everything i see in my research, whether it's from the leaders perspective, the contributors perspective, is that we burn out not because we're doing too much work, but because we're having too little impact. That, you know, ing people.

If someone asked what they should do to succeed in their job, you’d probably have a quick response. You might say something like, just do what you’re asked, get your work done on time, or don’t step on anyone’s toes. But what if the question wasn’t about how to succeed, but how to stand out as the best of the best? These are the high performers Liz Wiseman calls “impact players.” They’re the ones who leave an indelible mark on their work and the people around them. Liz spoke with nearly 200 top professionals, and she uncovered 5 behaviors that set them apart. Her findings inform her latest book, Impact Players: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact. Liz Wiseman is CEO of the Wiseman Group, a former corporate executive, and author of the bestselling book on leadership, The Multiplier Effect. No matter what role you’re in, you’ll learn what it takes to develop the skills of the highest impact employees in today’s organizations.
