==========
In this episode, we talk about:
- Rookie Mode outperforms expert mode
- To get into Rookie Mode, 1) force yourself to think like a rookie or 2) say yes to things you don’t know how to do
- Impact Players are people who more successfully 1) handle unclear roles 2) handle messy problems without clear owners 3) handle unforeseen obstacles
- As managers, to help contributors get closer to becoming maximally impactful: 1) tell them about the high impact behaviors 2) show them what you appreciate about them 3) give them safety 4) stretch them by giving them right-sized, hard things
