You're listening to the Creating a Brand podcast where we deliver weekly interviews on topics to help entrepreneurs make their first or next step in business the right one.

I am your host, Alex San Felipe.

When you think about your current and prior work performance, would you consider yourself to be a key

player in the organization? If you're working for yourself in a startup and you're the only player,

ask yourself the question this way. Would you hire someone with your same work ethic? In today's

episode, I'm bringing on Liz Wiseman. Liz is the CEO of the Wiseman group and the best-selling author

of multiple books, including the book we'll be talking about in this episode, which is titled Impact Players. Liz was formerly an executive
