“The Diminisher is a micromanager who jumps in and out. The Multiplier is an Investor who gives others ownership and full accountability.” - Liz Wiseman
Welcome to the first step in your Multipliers mini learning journey!
In her groundbreaking bestseller, Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, Liz Wiseman identified behaviors that have a diminishing impact on the people they lead. "The vast majority of diminishing happening inside our workplaces is done by the Accidental Diminisher -- managers with the best of intentions, good people who think they are doing a good job leading," Wiseman says.
"We all have Accidental Diminisher moments," Wiseman says. "The secret to the Multiplier effect is knowing what your vulnerabilities are, spotting them in action, and turning these situations into Multiplier moments."
With that in mind, we've developed this quiz to help you identify any Accidental Diminisher tendencies you may have, followed by helpful workarounds that can help you counteract those behaviors. Ready, go!
