Most Valuable Players

❝The MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS are never finished. They are continually ADAPTING, ADJUSTING to hit the mark.❞

⭐️IMPACT PLAYERS ADAPT to changing conditions faster than their peers because they interpret new rules and new targets as opportunities for learning and growth 🧠 While they appreciate affirmation and positive feedback, they actively seek CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK AND CONTRARY VIEWS AND USE IT TO RECALIBRATE AND REFOCUS THEIR EFFORTS ⚓️

While others attempt to manage and minimize change, impact players are LEARNING AND ADAPTING TO CHANGE 🦅

To embrace the habits of these impact players:
📍Seek guidance – Managers respond well to coachable employees. Impact players ask for feedback, not validation, and INCORPORATE CRITICISM into their work 🤔
📍Adjust – One Salesforce employee, for example, took pride in his technology designs, but often had a defensive relationship with his peers when they offered feedback. As he responded more positively to criticism, he enhanced his ability to WORK WITH OTHERS and design more effective products 🎨
📍Return – When impact players receive guidance, they close the loop by showing their mentors the positive results of their investment.
Impact players adjust to changing environments and understand that CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK INCREASES THEIR EFFECT 🤩
Typical contributors prefer stability and prove risky in today’s dynamic business climate.
