Are you a Multiplier or a Diminisher?

Written by Alina Lee
Liz Wiseman’s book Multipliers reveals a powerful truth about leadership that can transform how we work with our teams:
  • A Multiplier leader can unlock 2 to 100 times the productivity of their team.
  • A Diminisher, on the other hand, may only get 20-50% of a team member’s total effort, often without even realizing it.
Here’s the surprising part—it’s NOT about IQ, technical skill, or being the smartest person in the room. It’s about how you lead.

So, how can we each be a Multiplier?
  • Discover what your team does best and let them shine in their natural strengths.
  • Remove obstacles and bottlenecks that slow them down, whether it’s excessive approvals or unclear processes.
  • Give your team space and trust instead of micromanaging details.
When leaders step back, inspire, and empower, magic happens. Teams become more engaged, creative, and productive.

How are you multiplying the potential of your team today? What leadership habits have made the biggest difference?
