How do the best leaders make their team smarter? In surveys, it’s common to hear people say they’re contributing 60% at their jobs. Unlocking people’s potential is a skill that can be worked on, and there are ways to bring out the best in people so that they give beyond what they thought they were capable of. 

Ephie Risho and Jason Moore jump in to the topic by covering the first few chapters of Liz Wiseman’s book Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter. Diminishers are those who tell people what to do, and oftentimes are geniuses themselves. While they may be the smartest person in the room, leading by directing and having others rely on them results in people giving less than they are capable of. 

Multipliers see intelligence in everyone, and engage in certain practices that are most effective. Liz highlights five: the talent magnet, the liberator, the challenger, the debate maker, and the investor. In this episode, Ephie & Jason cover the overall idea and the talent magnet, as usual, bringing in their personal experiences to shed light on the topic.
