Topics and Audience Takeaways
What Liz Wiseman Talks About:
Are you a genius or a genius maker?
We’ve all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drains intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always needs to be the smartest person in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts 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. These are the leaders who inspire employees to stretch themselves and get more from other people. These are the Multipliers. And the world needs more of them, especially now when leaders are expected to do more with less. What could your organization accomplish with access to all the intelligence that sits inside it?
In Liz Wiseman’s interactive keynote participants will develop a deep understanding of the research behind Multipliers and discover the resoundingly positive and profitable effect that Multipliers have on organizations – how they get more done with fewer resources and develop, attract, and retain talent, cultivating new ideas and energy to drive organizational change and innovation. Participants will get an overview of the five disciplines that distinguish Multipliers from other leaders and receive skill-building opportunities in areas where Multiplier leadership practices can practically and quickly be put to work inside the business.
