Liz Wiseman: Multipliers

Liz Wiseman has been listed on the Thinkers50 ranking and named as one of the top 10 leadership thinkers in the world and recipient of the 2016 ATD Champion of Talent Award. She is the author of three best-selling books, including Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter*.

Key Points

  • Some leaders make the people around them less capable.
  • Leaders who diminish others get less than half of their capabilities.
  • Diminishing often comes from good intentions.
  • Leadership is a skill you can learn.
  • A good boss sees the genius in others.
  • Find a way to let your boss know what you’re best at.
  • By admitting our own mistakes, we create an environment where others are willing to take risks.
  • Ask yourself how you might be shutting down people’s ideas and capabilities.
