Why are some school leaders able to double their team’s effectiveness, while others seem to drain the energy right out of the room? To explore that question, and talk about how to bring out the best in your colleagues and staff, we’re joined this month by Liz Wiseman and Elise Foster, co-authors of the new book, The Multiplier Effect: Tapping the Genius Inside Our Schools. Using insights gained from more than 400 interviews with successful school leaders, Wiseman and Foster have pinpointed the qualities that define leaders whom they refer to as “multipliers” — managers who bring out the best across their schools by multiplying the abilities of their staff through their leadership skills.
