#153 Liz Wiseman’s Multipliers - how the best leaders make everyone smarter

Liz Wiseman is an ex oracle executive who wrote an amazing book about how we all have moments as leaders where we accidentally diminish team members and 'shut down' their smarts, making our people less capable. What makes it worse, is that our intent is usually to be helpful and supportive, and yet it has the opposite impact.   She breaks out the difference between the behaviours we have that multiply the intelligence of our team (and potentially family members too) and those that diminish their capability and intelligence. You can understand the accidental diminisher traits, and where you can improve, and then, you can understand how to multiply the capability of your team members.  This week we're talking about the Multipliers concept from Liz Wiseman, and how it can apply to you as a leader.  ----- * Do you love The Growth Whisperers and want to see our smiling faces?
