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.In this highly engaging talk, Liz Wiseman will share the research behind Multipliers and illustrate the resoundingly positive and profitable effect these Multipliers have on organizations—how they get more done with fewer resources, develop and attract talent and cultivate new ideas and energy to drive organizational change and innovation. She’ll introduce the five disciplines that distinguish Multipliers from Diminishers and provide practice tips for leading like a Multiplier.What could your organization accomplish with access to all the intelligence that sits inside it?

IMPACT PLAYERS
ARE YOUR PEOPLE CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR FULLEST?
In our Impact Players keynote, participants will learn the anatomy of these standout contributors and how to adopt the mindsets and practices needed to do impactful work. Additionally, we will explore the piece that Impact Players plays in creating Multiplier leaders.
Wiseman identifies the mindsets that prevent otherwise smart, capable people from contributing to their full potential and the five practices that differentiate Impact Players:
- While others do their job, Impact Players figure out the real job to be done.
- While others wait for direction, Impact Players step up and lead.
- While others escalate problems, Impact Players move things across the finish line.
- While others attempt to minimize change, Impact Players are learning and adapting to change.
- While others add to the load, Impact Players make heavy demands feel lighter.
Using memorable visuals and humor throughout her keynote, Liz will engage attendees in self-reflection and equip them with five key practices that will leave them feeling enlightened, inspired and motivated to take the lead, play bigger and multiply their impact.
