Harnessing intelligence

“Leadership is about using yourself as an instrument to get things done.”
– Dr. Linda A. Hill

According to Harvard Business School Professor Dr. Linda Hill, our thought leader partner at Paradox Strategies and author of award-winning management classics Being the Boss and Collective Genius, great leaders learn how to use themselves as tools to make things happen.

They use their influence to inspire, motivate, and create an environment that draws out the best work from others. Leaders must know how to harness intelligence and unleash creativity – vital skills today for organizations to stay innovative and agile.

Two of our learning experiences, the Multipliers and Collective Genius simulations, address these critical needs:

• The Multipliers Simulation (you can experience it next month, details below) is based on Liz Wiseman‘s groundbreaking bestseller Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter: “Multipliers invoke each person’s unique intelligence and create an atmosphere of genius—innovation, productive effort, and collective intelligence.” 
• The Collective Genius Simulation is based on Linda Hill‘s research and award-winning book Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation: “If your goal is innovation, then your role must instead be to create an environment—a setting, a context, an organization—where people are willing and able to do the hard work of innovation themselves: to collaborate, learn through trial and error, and make integrated decisions.”

Our colleague Jim Perry helped create the Multipliers simulation. Now he’s also working with Dr. Hill and Paradox Strategies on Collective Genius. At our recent flyover preview of Collective Genius, he pointed out how the two simulations are different yet also work very well together.
