The Talent Development Hot Seat podcast - The Top podcast for L&D Professionals Best of: Lessons from Liz Wiseman Becoming an Impact Player in Your Career.
In this special “Best Of” rebroadcast, I'm sharing a powerful conversation with legendary leadership thinker Liz Wiseman, bestselling author of Multipliers and Impact Players. Originally recorded around the launch of Impact Players in 2021–2022, this episode explores what truly sets high-impact individual contributors apart and how anyone can elevate their influence and value inside an organization.
In this conversation, we explore the concept of moving from being a solid contributor to becoming an "impact player"—someone who doesn’t just do their job, but actively looks for the work that matters most to the business. Liz Wiseman shares insights from her research, explains the differences between good contributors and true impact players, and offers practical advice for those seeking to amplify their influence and value at work.
Whether you're in a leadership role or an individual contributor hoping to level up, this episode is packed with actionable tips on building upward empathy, navigating ambiguity, and aligning your work with what’s truly valued in your organization. Plus, Liz Wiseman reveals what managers can do to create the culture and permission for impact players to thrive. It's a must-listen for anyone passionate about talent development, personal growth, and building high-performing teams.
So grab your notebook and get ready for an inspiring, practical discussion that can help you and your organization unlock more impact than ever before!
