Thinkers50 Top 10 Best New Management Books for 2022
Why do some people break through and make an impact while others get stuck going through the motions?
In every organisation, there are individuals who stand out—those indispensable colleagues who shine in critical situations and consistently receive high-profile assignments and new opportunities. Whether they are in the spotlight or working diligently behind the scenes, these Impact Players are recognised by managers for their immense value. The key question is: what actually sets these outstanding professionals apart from their peers?
In Impact Players, New York Times bestselling author and researcher Liz Wiseman reveals the secrets behind these extraordinary individuals who operate on a different plane. Drawing on insights from leaders at top companies, Wiseman demystifies the behaviours and mindsets that differentiate the most influential players from the rest. She explains how seemingly minor differences in thinking and acting can have a monumental impact, and emphasises that—with a bit of coaching—this high-performance mindset can be cultivated by anyone wishing to contribute at their highest level.
The book is based on a comprehensive study of 170 top contributors across various industries. From this research, Wiseman identifies the common mindsets that hold otherwise smart, capable people back, as well as the five key practices that set Impact Players apart from the rest:
- While others merely do their job, Impact Players discern the real job that needs to be done and focus on it.
- While others wait for directions, Impact Players step up and lead, taking initiative to drive projects forward.
- While others escalate problems, Impact Players take ownership and move things across the finish line.
- While others resist change, Impact Players adapt and learn, embracing change as an opportunity for growth.
- While others add to the workload, Impact Players ease the burden, making heavy demands feel lighter through their efficient and effective actions.
Wiseman clarifies that these practices—coupled with the right mindset—can enable any employee to maximise their contributions. She also provides valuable insights for leaders on how to elevate the performance of their entire team. Impact Players serves as a comprehensive playbook for thriving in the modern workplace, offering actionable strategies for both individuals and organisations aiming to excel.
