Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova. This week I'm excited to bring you an episode of What's Next! Podcast with Liz Wiseman, who is the first guest to join me on the podcast three times! For this special episode, I'm sharing my January 31st LinkedIn Live chat as Liz and I discuss the distinctive qualities of impact players who take action in the throes of ambiguity and uncertainty in the workplace. Liz Wiseman is a researcher and executive adviser who teaches leadership to executives around the world. She's the author of the New York Times bestseller Multipliers (which is one of my favorite books of all time), The Multiplier Effect, and Wall Street Journal bestsellers Rookie Smarts and Impact Players. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anybody who wants to become the person who takes action in situations that may be unclear or ambiguous instead of going through the motions until somebody else steps in. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… impact players approach situations that may be unclear or confusing with an outward perspective. They consider the playing field with curiosity and openness, which gives them the opportunity to transform a chaotic situation into a chance to learn and create impact. WHAT I LOVE MOST… managers don't really want to manage people, and people don't really want to be managed. The most valuable employees are self-managed and are able to figure out what things need to be done and then follow through on them.
