What if the biggest breakthroughs in your career come from saying yes to the hard stuff—the roles you’re not quite ready for, the problems no one wants, the uncertainty everyone avoids?

In this episode of The Disruption Lab, NYT bestselling author and leadership expert Liz Wiseman shares why she believes her own success came from what she calls a naive yes. We explore the difference between ordinary contributors and the rare impact players—the people who step up when things get messy, clarify what matters when roles are fuzzy, and make themselves invaluable during times of disruption.

Liz brings insights from her bestselling books like Multipliers and Impact Players to help you see how disruption isn’t just something to survive—it’s an opportunity to lead. Whether you're an individual contributor or a senior executive, this conversation will challenge you to stop waiting for clarity and start creating it.
