Brené with Liz Wiseman on Impact Players

Hi, everyone. I'm Brene Brown, and this is Dare to Lead. Today, I'm talking with Liz Wiseman, author, researcher, and executive adviser about her new book, Impact Players, how to take the lead, play bigger, and multiply your impact. God, I love this conversation. It was so good because I think if asked, most of us could say, here are my impact players. I think the term comes from sports, and we all know the impact players on the sports teams that we watch and love. But even at work, we can tell you who the impact players are, the people who really make a difference, not even with getting stuff done, but the spirit and culture of the group. And so Liz has done one of my favorite things, which is taken a concept or a construct and defined it and backed into it so we know what makes an impact player. What are the attributes? She's done research across organizations, across countries, where she talked to managers about what an impact player looks like, what sets them apart, and how they contribute. I read Liz's book, multipliers, a few years ago, and her new book impact players really takes that work, gives it new research, new breath, and gives us new language about how to make our work and our impact more fulfilling. I can't wait for y'all to hear the conversation. Avoiding your unfinished home projects because you're not sure where to start? Thumbtack knows homes, so you don't have to.
