Episode #030: Liz Wiseman, Author of Multipliers: How Great Leaders Make Everyone Smarter (with Greg McKeown)

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, Liz and co-author Greg McKeown, share about the two dramatically different types of leaders we’ve all had experience with.
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!
