As leaders, we are responsible for the environment we create. Even with the best of intentions, we can create tension in our workspace. In her book "Multipliers," Liz Wiseman divides leaders into two groups, tyrants or liberators. Tyrant leaders create tension, diminishing their teams' capability, while liberators generate an intense environment where their teams have a profound obligation of doing their best. 

In this episode, we will talk about leadership styles. We will go through the main characteristics of tyrant and liberator leaders and how they stimulate their teams. We will also describe Liz Wiseman's three practices to become a liberator leader.
