309. Stretch, Don't Stress: How Great Communication Makes Better Leaders

Best-selling author Liz Wiseman joins Matt Abrahams to discuss why the best leaders amplify the intelligence of those around them rather than providing all the answers. Drawing from her million-copy bestseller Multipliers, Wiseman explains the accidental ways well-intentioned managers diminish their teams and the specific communication habits—like asking more than telling and paying attention to impact—that separate multipliers from diminishers. The conversation offers practical tools for closing the gap between intention and impact, including a single question that can transform how leaders support the people they lead.
