How the best leaders make everyone smarter

What could your organization accomplish with access to all the intelligence that lives inside it?

Most companies are good at bringing in smart, capable people, but few are as effective at fully engaging the talent they have.

The official Multipliers Simulation is a powerful experience that enables participants to lead as “Multipliers”. These leaders create a culture in which people contribute their best thinking to the organization.

The simulation is based on the best-selling book, Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, by Liz Wiseman and was developed with in collaboration with Wiseman by our thought leader partners at BTS.

Wiseman’s research shows that Multiplier leaders get more intelligence from their teams than their Diminisher counterparts do—in fact, over twice as much. The exciting news is that the mindset and skills of Multipliers can be learned and developed by any leader.

The Multipliers Simulation allows leaders to experience the Multiplier mindset, practice Multiplier principles, and learn to avoid Diminisher traps within the context of real-life business challenges. Through simulation, in-session experiments, and personal reflection, your leaders will learn how to best multiply the talent of their team and cross-functional partners in order to drive long-term business value and to enable people to do the best work of their careers.

The Multipliers Simulation is available in 3 versions designed to support different leadership levels:

  1. Individual contributors and project leads - Contributing As a Multiplier - new!
  2. Leaders
  3. Mid-level and senior leaders

Are you getting ALL the intelligence of your employees?

One kind of leader typically realizes only 45%. Could it be you?

To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Multipliers, The Wiseman Group is sharing 10 Multipliers Tools to help you apply new practices to your most pressing challenges. Get yours here.

My aha! is that this is incredibly beneficial to new leaders in the organization as well as experienced leaders. Starting new leaders off with an awareness sets them up for success."

Here are more of the "aha! moments" that Multipliers participants have shared with us:

  • "Being an Optimist and Always On can, will, does diminish my team's potential. Thank you for immediate self awareness and the tools to quickly change and drive increased team productivity!"
  • "My aha! is that this is incredibly beneficial to new leaders in the organization as well as experienced leaders. Starting new leaders off with an awareness sets them up for success."
  • "Diminisher activities can happen due to good intentions. Be self aware!"
  • "There is a fine line between being a helper and a diminisher, and we all exhibit diminishing behaviors at times."
  • "One aha moment from today was learning that being a rapid responder can cause negative effects on the team instead of helping move things along faster."
  • "Love the accidental diminishers because they are so real and all of us have one or more in us. Makes you really take a hard look at yourself and think about how to change."
  • Fun way to learn about important choices as leaders.  Valuable to work with both multiplier AND diminisher characteristics.
