About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Book Preview: #1 Monica Padman, who left college with two degrees in hand, moved to Hollywood to pursue her dream of becoming an actor and comedian. She eventually became a trusted employee of actress Kristen Bell, and when Bell and her husband, actor Dax Shepard, asked her to work for them full-time, she was understandably reluctant.
#2 There are three different categories of contributors in the workplace: high-impact contributors, typical contributors, and under-contributors. The book will focus primarily on the distinction between the first two categories to explore the subtle, but often counterintuitive, differences in mindset that become big differentiators in impact.
#3 I found that the typical contributors were no slouches. They were capable, diligent, and hardworking professionals. However, I found four key differences between high-impact players and other hardworking contributors.
#4 The approach taken by Impact Players is radically different from that of typical contributors. They were more easily flummoxed by uncertainty, and they got stuck amid ambiguity. When others may have freaked out or checked out, Impact Players dove into the chaos head-on.

Monica Padman, who left college with two degrees in hand, moved to Hollywood to pursue her dream of becoming an actor and comedian. She eventually became a trusted employee of actress Kristen Bell, and when Bell and her husband, actor Dax Shepard, asked her to work for them full-time, she was understandably reluctant.

There are three different categories of contributors in the workplace: high-impact contributors, typical contributors, and under-contributors. The book will focus primarily on the distinction between the first two categories to explore the subtle, but often counterintuitive, differences in mindset that become big differentiators in impact.
#3
I found that the typical contributors were no slouches. They were capable, diligent, and hardworking professionals. However, I found four key differences between high-impact players and other hardworking contributors.
#4
The approach taken by Impact Players is radically different from that of typical contributors. They were more easily flummoxed by uncertainty, and they got stuck amid ambiguity. When others may have freaked out or checked out, Impact Players dove into the chaos head-on.
#5
The typical professional approaches these difficult situations as if the challenge is a nuisance, lowering their productivity and making it difficult for them to do their job. They see them as problems to run around and avoid rather than tackle directly.
#6
The difference between Impact Players and others is that they see everyday challenges as opportunities while others view the same challenges as threats.
#7
Impact Players see ambiguity and uncertainty as an opportunity to add value. They act fundamentally differently as well. While others are freezing, Impact Players are getting their arms around the chaos. They are willing to both lead and follow, which creates a culture of courage, initiative, and agility inside their organization.
#8
The five practices of the Impact Player Mindset are ask and adjust, make work light, make hard work easier, and lift, not by taking on other people’s work, but by being easy to work with.
#9
The director of data analytics and insights at Adobe, Maninder Sawhney, had to deal with the company’s inability to gather and analyze customer data. He presented a different approach that the company should take to measure and analyze customer attrition.
#10
Impact Players see problems as opportunities to serve, find solutions, and make a difference. They are willing to step forward and lead.
#11
The rules of the workplace are unwritten, and Impact Players seem to understand them better than others. They figure out what’s important to their colleagues and determine what needs to get done. They build credibility and expand their impact potential.
#12
The book shares the insights we gained from interviewing leaders about what they value, which helps you build
