The Power of Impact Players

Impact players are individuals who create extraordinary value in their roles and raise the level of play of those around them. They handle ambiguity and uncertainty with a mindset of seeing opportunity rather than threats. Impact players thrive in environments that provide both safety and stretch, allowing them to step up and lead while also stepping back and following others. They finish strong and well, completing their work with a sense of accomplishment and regenerative energy. Managers can create an environment where impact players thrive by fostering intellectual and psychological safety, giving permission to work in non-traditional ways, and providing challenge and support.
