Liz Wiseman's Speech Descriptions

Liz demonstrates the two different types of leaders; there are those who take from their subordinates, draining their intelligence, energy and capability to make themselves seem brighter. These are the people who demotivate others; who’s going to work hard and give of their best in order to make someone else look better?

The other type of leader amplifies and multiplies the intelligence and capabilities of others; they inspire harder work and more innovative thinking.

Liz will show you that this is not just a theory; using her in-depth research into the effects of different leadership styles on organizations she will demonstrate how “multipliers” can do more with less, how they bring out the best in others and make others want to join them and how they inspire a flow of new ideas. She will tell you about the five crucial differences between “multipliers” and “diminishers” and show you how you can develop a “multiplier” leadership style.

Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter

We've all experienced two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type consists of individuals who drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest people in the room. They are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. The second type, on the other side of the spectrum, consists of leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the intelligence and capabilities of the people around them. When these leaders walk into a room, light bulbs go off over people's heads, ideas flow, and problems get solved. They are the leaders who inspire employees to stretch themselves and get more from other people. They are the "multipliers." And the world needs more of them, especially now that leaders are expected to do more with less.

In this highly engaging talk, speaker Liz Wiseman will share the research behind "multipliers" and illustrate the resoundingly positive and profitable effect these multipliers have on organizations - how they get more done with fewer resources, develop and attract talent, and cultivate new ideas and energy to drive organizational change and innovation. She'll introduce the five disciplines that distinguish "multipliers" from "diminishers" and provide practical tips for leading like a "multiplier."

The Multiplier Effect

The Multiplier Effect: Tapping the Genius Inside Our Schools
Why do some leaders double their team’s effectiveness, while others seem to drain the energy right out of the room? Using insights gained from more than 100 interviews with school leaders, this book pinpoints the five disciplines that define how Multipliers bring out the best across their schools. By practicing these disciplines, you’ll learn how to:

  • Attract top teachers to your school
  • Create an intense environment that demands people’s best thinking
  • Drive sound decisions by constructing debate and decision-making forums
  • Give your team a sense of ownership for responsibilities and results


    • Multipliers

    Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter
    A thought-provoking, accessible, and essential exploration of why some leaders (“Diminishers”) drain capability and intelligence from their teams, while others (“Multipliers”) amplify it to produce better results. Including a foreword by Stephen R. Covey, as well the five key disciplines that turn smart leaders into genius makers, Multipliers is a must-read for everyone from first-time managers to world leaders.
