INSIGHT

Characteristics of Impact Players

  • Impact players act beyond their job description, tackling messy problems and unclear roles.
  • They lead when needed, hold ownership longer, adapt to change, and lighten the team’s load.
ADVICE

Mindset for Becoming Impact Players

  • To become an impact player, adopt a mindset that embraces ambiguity and leadership without formal authority.
  • Move toward uncertainty and take charge of situations rather than waiting for permission or roles to be assigned.
ADVICE

Give Permission to Lead

  • Leaders should give explicit permission for impact player behaviors to encourage initiative and courage.
  • Use language that invites people to step beyond their job descriptions and take ownership of the work that needs doing.
