Though I wouldn’t discover it until 2013, author Liz Wiseman would release one of my favorite books of the year…way back in 2010.
And ever since I launched the Read to Lead Podcast in July 2013, one of my goals has been to have her on. That’s one more item to cross off the bucket list.
Hear Our Conversation Now
In the Wall Street Journal bestseller, Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter
On one end of the spectrum are the Diminishers. These are the idea killers or the energy sappers. On the other end are the Multipliers, the kind of leaders who inspire employees to stretch themselves to deliver results and surpass expectations.
In today’s episode, Liz shares:
- The five key areas where Multipliers and Diminishers differ
- How Multipliers manage to get so much brain power from their people
- Confirmation that Multipliers come from all walks of life
- How to learn to become and develop yourself into a Multiplier
- And much, much more!
