Impact Players

Liz Wiseman

Impact Players distinguish themselves not just through intelligence, skill, or hard work, but through a mindset that transforms challenges into opportunities and focuses on contributing beyond assigned roles. They proactively identify needs, step into leadership gaps, and align their efforts with organizational priorities, such as determining their W.I.N. (What’s Important Now) to address pressing challenges. By seeking feedback, refining their approach, and maintaining resilience, they reduce burdens for others while driving meaningful outcomes. Whether it’s Monica Padman leveraging unexpected connections, Betty Williams mobilizing grassroots change, or professionals like Parth Vaishnav and Karl Doose demonstrating initiative and problem-solving, Impact Players consistently add value, foster growth, and leave a lasting positive impact.
