Liz Wiseman’s Multipliers

Have you ever wondered why some leaders drain intelligence, while others amplify it?

In her research, leadership expert Liz Wiseman made a crucial discovery: There’s far more intelligence and energy inside organisations than we realise. Leaders are key to unlocking these capabilities. FranklinCovey has partnered with Liz Wiseman to develop a new solution that enables leaders to become Multipliers who:

• Access and use the untapped capabilities on their teams.
• Rekindle energy and enthusiasm as teams achieve stronger results.
• Innovate by encouraging new and bold thinking.
• Breakthrough to new levels of performance by amplifying people’s intelligence. Multipliers deliver stronger results as people grow and teams excel.

Under pressure to deliver results in good times and bad, leaders face a variety of challenges:

• We can’t hire, but we need to grow.
• We need everyone’s best, but people are burned out.
• We’re okay today, but we’re not ready to compete tomorrow.
• We have the best talent, but they’re not engaged.

In these circumstances, leaders can’t afford to waste talent. They need people to innovate, to solve problems, to deliver results—and to be excited and engaged as they do so.

Sadly, too many leaders become “Accidental Diminishers” shutting down their team’s talent and energy, by overshadowing and overpowering their good ideas. Research has shown that leaders who are Multipliers, on average double the talent, input and productivity of their teams. Those who are Diminishers, can easily halve the input of team members or shut it down completely.
