Join fellow BizWomen Cabinet member, Elise Foster, co-author of The Multiplier Effect as she shares insights about Multiplier leadership during July’s BizWomen Cabinet Event.
We’ve all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders, those who operate as Diminishers, draining intelligence and capability and conversely the Multipliers, the amplifiers of smarts and capability. In a time when leaders are being asked to do more with less, organizations can’t afford to operate on a fraction of the brainpower available to them. After analyzing over 150 leaders across 4 continents we found that certain leaders weren’t just intelligent themselves they were intelligence multipliers; they were genius makers. Our research outlines the five key differentiators between intelligence Diminishers and intelligence Multipliers. These differences explain why some leaders get vastly more capability from their people!
In this highly engaging talk, Elise Foster will share the research behind Multipliers and illustrate the resoundingly positive and productive effect they have on organizations, driving innovation. She’ll introduce the five disciplines that distinguish Multipliers from Diminishers and provide practical tips for leading like a Multiplier. Learn the simple reason Multipliers access more than 2X the intelligence from their people.
