About The Book

Impact Players by Liz Wiseman is an insightful exploration into what makes certain professionals stand out as indispensable assets in any organization. Drawing from extensive research and insights from top managers, Wiseman identifies the key practices and mindset that set MVPs (Most Valuable Players) apart from their peers. These individuals can be counted on in critical situations, consistently receive high-profile assignments, and are entrusted with new opportunities—whether they are in the spotlight or working behind the scenes.

Through a study of 170 top contributors, Wiseman uncovers five core practices that differentiate MVPs:

• Do What’s Useful: MVPs focus on solving the real, impactful problems.

• Take the Lead: They step up when leadership is unclear.

• Finish Strong: They persevere through challenges to complete projects.

• Ask and Adjust: MVPs adapt quickly when the situation changes.

• Make Work Light: They ease difficult situations, benefiting the entire team.

Wiseman's book offers practical advice on how these practices can help employees perform at their highest level and provides leaders with strategies to elevate the performance of everyone on their teams. Perfect for anyone looking to excel in a fast-paced, competitive environment, Impact Players is a roadmap for creating a culture of excellence and empowering individuals to contribute at their fullest potential.
