Liz Wiseman is een Amerikaanse onderzoeker en auteur die zich verdiept in de dynamiek van leiderschap en teameffectiviteit. Haar werk onderzoekt hoe bepaalde leiders de intelligentie en capaciteiten van hun omgeving versterken, waardoor productiviteit en innovatie worden gestimuleerd. Wiseman onderzoekt de principes die deze 'multiplicatoren' in staat stellen uitzonderlijke resultaten te behalen en anderen te inspireren hun volledige potentieel te bereiken. Haar inzichten bieden waardevolle lessen voor iedereen die zijn invloed wil vergroten en effectiever wil leiden.
"A thought-provoking, accessible, and essential exploration of why some leaders (called "Diminishers") drain capability and intelligence from their teams while others (called "Multipliers") amplify it to produce better results"--Provided by publisher.
Leadership expert Liz Wiseman argues that the most successful rookies are hunter-gatherers, cautious but quick like firewalkers, and hungry and relentless like frontiersmen. Most importantly, she identifies a breed of leaders she refers to as 'perpetual rookies.' Despite years of experience, they retain their rookie smarts, thinking and operating with the mindsets and practices of these high-performing rookies.
Why do some people break through and make an impact while others get stuck going through the motions? Drawing on insights from leaders at top companies, Wiseman explains what the most influential players are doing differently, how small and seemingly insignificant differences in how we think and act can make an enormous impact, and why - with a little coaching - this mindset is available to everyone who wants to contribute at their highest level
