161. Discover If You're Accidentally Diminishing the Talent Around You | Liz Wiseman
Manage episode 218494570 series 2428258
Are you multiplying or diminishing the people around you?
After we released episode 145 with Liz Wiseman, author of New York Times bestseller Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, we received a lot of feedback from all of you. We all know that no one succeeds alone – but working with and leading other people isn’t easy, and we’re not taught how to do it in school.
So for this episode, we brought Liz Wiseman back, but with a twist: instead of us interviewing her, she’s going to turn the tables on Geoff Woods and help him identify where he’s diminishing as a leader. Whether you own a business, are a leader in an organization, or are an employee, this is a valuable episode because it will help you gain clarity on where you could be doing a better job of showing up and how you are influencing the people around you.
In this episode, you will learn...
- [8:00] How your strengths can end up diminishing others
- [19:35] What leaders can give their teams space and reign themselves in during meetings or conversations
- [28:35] How learning a few “back pocket questions” can help you multiply the people around you (and what these questions sound like)
- [35:40] What accidental diminishers can do to start intentionally multiplying & what employees or family members can say when they are being diminished
- [55:55] ONE thing accidental diminishers should understand and implement
The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:
Where might you be accidentally diminishing?
It’s not a bad thing to admit that you have diminishing tendencies – we all do! One of the three commitments of The ONE Thing is following the path of mastery; always focusing on how you can get just a little bit better in any area of your life. There are spaces where you are doing extraordinarily well, but there are also places where you’re still a student and opportunities to improve.
So what is the ONE thing you can do that will make multiplying the people around you easier or unnecessary?
