Today's guest is Liz Wiseman, author of New York Times bestseller Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, The Multiplier Effect: Tapping the Genius Inside Our Schools, Impact Players: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger and Multiply Your Impact and Wall Street Journal bestseller Rookie Smarts: Why Learning Beats Knowing in the New Game of Work. Liz has conducted significant research in the field of leadership and collective intelligence and writes for Harvard Business Review, Fortune, and a variety of other business and leadership journals. A former executive at Oracle Corporation, over the course of 17 years, Liz was the Vice President of Oracle University and a global leader in Human Resource Development. Her management research and executive development firm The Wiseman Group is focused on developing leaders around the globe who can take on the world's toughest challenges. Her client list includes Apple, Disney, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter. As you will see in this show, I met Liz when she spoke at Tesla and it resulted in one of the most memorable and emotional professional experiences in my life.  On the show, we dive into the concepts of Multipliers and Rookie Smarts and she tells personal insight stories that have helped make her the person she is today. She explains the interesting reason why she decided to leave Oracle, and how that planted the seed for one of her books. We discuss her insights as a mother of 4 and a busy professional, and how her world was changed when she realized the management skill she used at work is the exact same skillset she used at home. She also shares how and why she created labels in her books to help provide a framework and language to discuss what she calls the “undiscussable” - A multiplier is a genius maker and helps to activate everyone around them to be their best by spending their energy on extracting and extending the genius of others. A diminisher does the exact opposite, by restricting others and holding them back from showing their what she calls “native genius”. We will discuss this in detail, including giving an example of the “accidental diminisher” - someone who has positive intentions but inadvertently diminishes those around them. She also gives some sage advice for parents on how to balance life and family. I'm beyond thrilled to release today's show and can thank Liz enough for being my guest so please enjoy this episode of Insight Out!

Greetings, Summit Leaders. One of the most distinctive qualities great leaders develop is perspective. They can see beyond the obvious to discern possibilities for doing something new when others see only the challenge.   Great leaders ask for help, ask questions for clarification, and gain sharper perspectives and insights through the process. The temptation is to listen to the internal voices, saying, "You should know this?" "You will look silly if you ask for help on this." So, we find ourselves going in circles, becoming frustrated, anxious, and losing time which only adds to our frustration. Instead, begin thinking of ways of serving with excellence during the process. Three questions came to my mind. 1.  How could I add value?  2.  What might they be thinking after two weeks in their roles?  3.  Where can I make the most significant impact? The shift in my thinking to serving others best motivates me to answer the small questions that weigh me down after repeated attempts to figure them out. Collaboration and caring became the two words that resonated during a challenging week. Many people I never met provided the answers to questions and help at just the right time. The help you need will appear at just the right time. Recognize the service and be grateful for the person who gave you just what you needed to keep making progress. Remember to do the same when you are the person providing the service. As a person sows, they will reap—more than they sow and later than they sow. We reap what we sow.  "In Service" is the term a Summit Leader shared with me during a conversation last week. He said, "All of my lasting relationships with clients came from me helping them with acts of service in something important to them." Summit Leader His willingness to serve in small ways opens the door for more significant opportunities. He talks about the vision he shared with me almost five years ago to become the youngest person to reach the top of his career path. His goal is within reach, and service to others is a contributing factor. "In times of uncertainty, the best leaders create stability for their team by absorbing ambiguity. They need to be comfortable with uncertainty - so much that they can sit in its company long enough to transform the unknowns into opportunities. This comfort with uncertainty (and its close cousin adversity) is one of the hallmarks of the Impact Players" Liz Wiseman,  IMPACT PLAYERS - How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact. "You put yourself out there. The more you are willing to be uncomfortable, the more you will grow." Summit Leader Summit leaders are Impact Players! Victory!

"If you've got problems in your organization, almost always, you've created them. You get the employees you deserve, and you get the culture you deserve.” - Liz Wiseman What is a high-impact player? What sets these peak performers apart? How can organizations adopt the mindsets and behaviors of high-impact players? How can law firms cultivate an agile and fluid team of leaders? Should leaders do dry-runs of problems in preparation for actual disaster? How can law firms recruit dream teams of high-impact players? Challenge a Team and Watch Them Grow People are hard-wired for contribution. An underutilized team is an exhausted, underperforming team. Challenge that same team and ask them to stretch in a safe, supportive environment and they will contribute everything they have — feeling exhilarated in the process. This is what Liz Wiseman found after a decade of researching the best (and the worst) leaders in the world. In her latest book, “Impact Players: How to Take the Lead, Pay Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact,” Liz answers the question: Why do some people play at their full potential while others remain underutilized? Her comprehensive research of 170 companies decodes the mindset and behavior of high-impact performers and explains how peak performance is available to everyone. Teaching Leadership to the World's Top Business Leaders Liz Wiseman is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, CEO of the Wiseman Group, and masterful researcher.

A frequent guest lecturer at BYU and Stanford University, she often writes for Harvard Business Review and Fortune. An executive advisor who teaches leadership, her recent clients include Apple, AT&T, Disney, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Nike, Salesforce, Tesla, and Twitter. In this episode, Liz discusses the five situations that set high-impact players apart and how teams can adopt the behavior. We also cover what law firms can do to attract an all-star team of top-performing talent. Attract Talent from Within For Liz, attracting and retaining the best talent for your law firm begins with great leadership, best described in two and a half words: “Safety and Stretch. The ‘and' is the half. The best leaders create an environment of safety where people can speak the truth. They have the permission to step up and lead. Even when nobody has anointed them a leader, they feel safe.” - Liz Wiseman Great contributors want to work with great leaders. But what should a firm look for in a potential high-performing candidate? Liz recommends hiring people with the least coachable essentials: a sense of agency, willingness to learn, and informal orientation toward hierarchy. The rest can be developed. Key Takeaways: Communicate priorities. Successful leaders share the company agenda so that team members feel empowered to step beyond their role and do the job that needs to be done. Tap into empathy. We all serve someone. Lawyers serve clients. Ask how you can make their lives easier. Anticipate problems. Permissive leaders create equity in their firm when teams are allowed to take ownership of a problem.

Impact Players A lack of fulfilment in the workplace is not a product of overwork but perhaps a lack of challenge and IMPACT. People desire to be engaged and challenged. They want to feel that they are using their full potential... stretching, learning and growing! Work that is uninspiring or unengaging leads to a lack of fulfilment. On top of this, being that we spend the majority of our time at work this lack of fulfilment can come home with us. Liz discusses why it's important to challenge workers and how. Wouldn't it be better to be excited about going to work and energised after leaving work? Guest Bio.

She explores what makes a good contributor, shares the importance of love in raising kids, and discusses why she prioritizes her family over her job. “Get over yourself and go serve where you're needed. Find out what's important and go work on what's important. And strangely, when you do that, you become really important.” - Liz Wiseman“In some ways, if I focus on my personal impact, I'm gonna sell my team short…My job is to get other people contributing and working and making an impact, and my impact is the sum of that.” - Liz WisemanKey Takeaways this week on the L3 Leadership Podcast:● Why everyone has genius● Making yourself useful, not important● Why following your own passion often starts out as following someone else's● What makes a good contributor, and why a good contributor makes a good leader● Tips on raising kids and the importance of love● Why you have more power than you think you haveMentioned Resources:● Impact Players: Buy the book, take the quiz, and get more info● A pad of paper● Sharpie markers● Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others DieWelcome to the L3 Leadership Podcast!Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of the L3 Leadership podcast, where we're obsessed with helping you grow to your maximum potential and maximize the impact of your leadership.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to the show and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.Spotify I Stitcher I Apple Podcasts I iHeart Radio I TuneIn I Google Podcasts I Amazon Music

Liz Wiseman is a researcher and executive advisor who teaches leadership to executives around the world.  She is the author of New York Times bestseller Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, The Multiplier Effect: Tapping the Genius Inside Our Schools, and Wall Street Journal bestseller Rookie Smarts: Why Learning Beats Knowing in the New Game of Work. and most recently, [[Impact Players]]: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact She is the CEO of the Wiseman Group, a leadership research and development firm headquartered in Silicon Valley, California.  Some of her recent clients include: Apple, AT&T, Disney, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Nike, Salesforce, Tesla, and Twitter.  Liz has been listed on the Thinkers50 ranking and in 2019 was recognized as the top leadership thinker in the world. In every organization there are Impact Players – those indispensable colleagues who can be counted on in critical situations and who consistently receive high-profile assignments and new opportunities.  Whether they are on center stage or behind the scenes, managers know who these top players are, understand their worth, and want more of them on their team.  While their impact is obvious, it's not always clear what actually makes these professionals different from their peers. In Impact Players, New York Times bestselling author and researcher Liz Wiseman reveals the secrets of these stellar professionals who play the game at a higher level.  Drawing on insights from leaders at top companies, Wiseman explains what the most influential players are doing differently, how small and seemingly insignificant differences in how we think and act can make an enormous impact, and why–with a little coaching–this mindset is available to everyone who wants to contribute at their highest level and do more meaningful work. Based on a study of 170 top contributors, Wiseman identifies the mindsets that prevent otherwise smart, capable people from contributing to their full potential and the five practices that differentiate Impact Players: • While others do their job, Impact Players figure out the real job to be done. • While others wait for direction, Impact Players step up and lead. • While others escalate problems, Impact Players move things across the finish line. • While others attempt to minimize change, Impact Players are learning and adapting to change. • While others add to the load, Impact Players make heavy demands feel lighter. Wiseman makes clear that these practices—and the right mindset—can help any employee contribute at their fullest and shows leaders how they can raise the level of play for everyone on the team.  Impact Players is your playbook for the new workplace. Impact Players - a term borrowed from the sports world. How do you measure value of impact players. High impact, contributing, but playing below their potential. Impact player brings 3.5 greater than someone doing their job well. Work was so much better, people were doing the right kind of work! Mindset that people move in and out of. Some people who inhabit this mindset and some that never do. It rises above environment, leadership and culture. A lot of parts of being an impact player you can't coach. MG100 - Marshall goldsmith 100 If you are assembling a team, hire for the least coachable, and spend your time coaching on the most coachable things It's hard to change a person's knee-jerk reaction to a threat. Help people to stay long enough to have a second reaction. Hiring process: comfort level with situations out of their control. SOAR - Situation, Outlook, Action, Result How to be a transformative principal? Ability to see what problems and opportunities look like though other people's perspective. Get out of your own head. They don't spend their times stuck in their own heads, in their own thoughts.

Liz has been listed on the Thinkers50 ranking and named one of the top 10 leadership thinkers in the world. She is a former Oracle executive, who worked over the course of 17 years as the Vice President of Oracle University and as the global leader for Human Resource Development. Liz is the author of Impact Players: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact*. In this conversation, Liz and I discuss the mindset that's most useful in making real traction in an organization. Plus, we explore practical steps that you can take to think bigger and get noticed for your work. Key Points The #1 thing managers appreciate: when employees do things that need doing without being asked. Upward empathy is the ability to consider what the bosses situation feels like — and what they need from you. Pursuing your passion sounds nice in a commencement speech, but can get in the way of what the organization actually needs. A job description might be a starting point, but it's almost never the ending point. Beware of becoming the foosball player that does hard work in one spot, but misses the bigger picture. Become a nimble midfielder who plays where they are most needed.

Impact Players: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact by Liz Wiseman Why do some people break through and make an impact while others get stuck going through the motions? In every organization there are Impact Players—those indispensable colleagues who can be counted on in critical situations and who consistently receive high-profile assignments and new opportunities. Whether they are on center stage or behind the scenes, managers know who these top players are, understand their worth, and want more of them on their team. While their impact is obvious, it's not always clear what actually makes these professionals different from their peers. In Impact Players, New York Times bestselling author and researcher Liz Wiseman reveals the secrets of these stellar professionals who play the game at a higher level. Drawing on insights from leaders at top companies, Wiseman explains what the most influential players are doing differently, how small and seemingly insignificant differences in how we think and act can make an enormous impact, and why—with a little coaching—this mindset is available to everyone who wants to contribute at their highest level.

While others wait for direction, Impact Players step up and lead. While others escalate problems, Impact Players move things across the finish line.
