Show Notes
A Multiplier is a leader who amplifies the intelligence and capability of their team, making work feel challenging yet exhilarating. Diminishers, on the other hand, unintentionally hold people back and create an environment where people defer to them. Both types of leaders have vastly different impacts on their teams.
Liz Wiseman, the author of Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, joins Henry and Maureen to discuss how to recognise the genius in others and create an environment that elicits the best thinking, provides challenges, encourages debate, and fosters ownership and accountability.
Liz’s tips for a happy workplace
- Empower team members by giving them control, which helps them feel less like victims and more in charge of their work.
- Point people to where they can be most impactful and show them how their work is making a difference.
- Lighten the load, not by doing other people's work for them, but by doing the small things that make work easy for others.
