Impact reflects the sense that a person's actions "make a difference"-that progress is being made toward fulfilling some important purpose. Managers can instill a sense of impact by celebrating milestones along the journey to task accomplishment, particularly for tasks that span a long time frame. Employees can attain a deeper sense of impact by building the collaborative relationships needed to speed task progress and initiating their own celebrations of "small wins" along the way.
