Liz Wiseman: NY Times bestselling author and executive advisor

In this episode Liz Wiseman, a successful figure in the leadership and personal development space, discusses her career transition from a high-ranking executive at Oracle to a respected author and leadership coach.  

Wiseman, known for her influential work, "Multipliers," shares her insights on how leaders can either amplify or stifle the potential within their teams. The concept of "accidental diminishers" is a focal point, referring to leaders who, despite good intentions, inadvertently dampen their team's energy and capabilities. 

Wiseman stresses the importance of creating an environment that challenges individuals while simultaneously providing them with the support needed to thrive.

Wiseman's philosophy centers on the transformative impact of recognizing and leveraging the collective intelligence of a team. She advocates for leadership that not only challenges but also values each member's contribution, fostering a culture of growth and mutual respect. 

This approach, she argues, is crucial for leaders aiming to unlock and multiply the potential within their organizations. Through her narrative, Wiseman provides a compelling overview of effective leadership practices that encourage innovation and engagement among team members.
