Multipliers + Collective Genius: A perfect pair for creating innovative, capable teams

I want to share some kind of contrast and connections that I see between Multipliers, which is a program I've been involved with along with the Wiseman Group, creating and supporting the Multipliers Simulation for about 10 years now. And here's how I see these kind of two great works in the sphere of intelligence and harnessing intelligence working together.

So Multipliers is a course that's highly appropriate for every leader, but super helpful for new leaders, for leaders who are coming into their role for the first time. I think it gives them the same kind of perspective on leading that situational leadership and other programs do, where it helps them individualize their leadership, helps them take basic leadership hygiene and learn how to harness it to each individual in Multipliers. We're focused highly on the leader-team dynamic, so we're focused highly on learning to be a leader of a team, and it has 5 very wonderful behavioral spectrums.

In Collective Genius, it's much more targeted to innovation specifically. So how do you foster innovation and grow innovation skills within a team or within a business? It has a focus on the team and on organizational dynamics, and it's organized around 3 general principles and 6 underlying paradoxes.

So in both cases, great work at systematizing a really large and, rich body of research in terms of the learning solution. Multipliers is one day, can be shortened to a half day for senior leaders, and it's easy to weave it into larger general leadership learning journeys. It's great for aspiring new managers. The language is great and so forth to take a whole organization through various versions of it so that everyone gets the Multiplier's language.

Collective Genius is a one-day standalone program for middle or senior leaders. It can be turned into something much bigger with intact teams or with change initiatives. It's quite easy to adapt this and turn it into a true workshop for intact teams so that they're actually learning and reinventing the way that they work together in a really great experience. I think this is an ideal experience for high potential leaders, for leaders who are going potentially into executive spaces and for intact management teams. So lots of opportunities to use both of these.

Each one stands beautifully on its own, and I think they're going to work wonderfully together in some organizations.
