"When there's a gap between our intention and our impact, we diminish others and our communication."The best leaders don't succeed because they have all the answers—they succeed because they bring out the best thinking in others. Liz Wiseman, executive advisor, CEO of the Wiseman Group, and author of the million-copy bestseller Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, has spent years studying why some leaders amplify the intelligence around them while others unintentionally hold people back. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wiseman joins Matt Abrahams to explore the habits of multiplier leaders, the subtle ways well-intentioned managers accidentally diminish their teams, and how curiosity, trust, and thoughtful communication create environments where people can do their best work. Together, they share practical strategies for leading with greater impact by aligning your intentions with the experience you create for others.Key Takeaways:Great leaders multiply, not diminish. Create trust, ask more than you tell, and challenge people to do their best thinking instead of stepping in with the answers.Good intentions aren't enough. The most effective communicators pay attention to the impact of their actions, ensuring their support empowers others rather than unintentionally holding them back.Activity:Ask the multiplier question. At the end of your next one-on-one or team meeting, ask: "What do you need from me to do your best work?" Listen without jumping in to solve the problem. Focus on understanding what will help others think, contribute, and perform at their highest level.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Liz WisemanLiz's Book: Multipliers147.

Transcript:No: På en solfylt sommerdag, hvor kontoret badet i varme stråler fra de store vinduene, var Eirik spent.En: On a sunny summer day, with the office bathed in warm rays from the large windows, Eirik was excited.No: Han hadde fått i oppgave å presentere en viktig analyse i et videomøte med kolleger, inkludert sin sjef, Anna.En: He had been tasked with presenting an important analysis in a video meeting with colleagues, including his boss, Anna.No: Solen danset over de blanke skrivebordene i det åpent planlagte kontorlandskapet, og landskapet utenfor virket nesten for godt til å være sant.En: The sun danced over the shiny desks in the open-plan office landscape, and the scene outside seemed almost too good to be true.No: Eirik satt ved pulten sin med et nølende blikk på skjermen.En: Eirik sat at his desk with a hesitant glance at the screen.No: Nervene hans kokte, og han håpet inderlig at dagens presentasjon ville sikre ham en etterlengtet forfremmelse.En: His nerves were boiling, and he was hoping fervently that today's presentation would secure him a long-awaited promotion.No: For Eirik var dette en gyllen mulighet.En: For Eirik, this was a golden opportunity.No: I det videomøtet startet, logget Eirik inn med selvtillit.En: As the video meeting started, Eirik logged in with confidence.No: Men til hans store fortvilelse dukket hans digitale jeg opp på skjermen med store, rosa kaninører.En: But to his great dismay, his digital self appeared on the screen with big, pink bunny ears.No: Eirik stirret, sjokkert, på sin egen refleksjon.En: Eirik stared, shocked, at his own reflection.No: Etter å ha bladd frenetisk gjennom datamaskinens innstillinger, forble kaninørene like uforminske og sprette.En: After frantically scrolling through the computer's settings, the bunny ears remained stubbornly in place and sprang.No: Eirik ble rød i fjeset, mens resten av teamet, inkludert Anna, allerede var tilstede i det digitale møtet.En: Eirik turned red in the face, while the rest of the team, including Anna, were already present in the digital meeting.No: Bjorn, hans kollega og venn, kastet ikke bort et øyeblikk.En: Bjorn, his colleague and friend, didn't waste a moment.No: Han prøvde å undertrykke en lattermild grin, vel vitende om at han sannsynligvis var skyld i Eiriks digitale dilemma.En: He tried to suppress a humorous grin, fully aware that he was probably responsible for Eirik's digital dilemma.No: Anna, derimot, så på Eirik med hevede øyenbryn men fortsatte møtet uten kommentarer.En: Anna, on the other hand, looked at Eirik with raised eyebrows but continued the meeting without comment.No: Eirik tok et dypt pust og bestemte seg for å forklare.En: Eirik took a deep breath and decided to explain.No: "Jeg beklager utseendet," begynte han nervøst, prøvde å smile tross kaninørene.En: "I apologize for the appearance," he began nervously, trying to smile despite the bunny ears.No: "Det er en teknisk feil.En: "It's a technical glitch.No: Jeg skal prøve å presentere likevel.En: I'll try to present anyway."No: "Han lente seg frem for å dekke kameraet med et papir, ett mislykket forsøk på å skjule de komiske ørene.En: He leaned forward to cover the camera with a piece of paper, an unsuccessful attempt to hide the comical ears.No: Men i hastverket slo han over et glass med vann, som flommet over prosjektmaterialene hans.En: But in his haste, he knocked over a glass of water, which flooded over his project materials.No: Eirik så nå dobbelt fortvilet ut på skjermen, våt på skjorteermene og med kaninøre-filteret i høy beredskap.En: Eirik now looked doubly distressed on the screen, wet on his shirt sleeves and with the bunny ear filter on full display.No: En kort stillhet fulgte før latteren brøt ut blandt deltakerne på videoen.En: A brief silence followed before laughter erupted among the video participants.No: Anna lo hjertelig.En: Anna laughed heartily.No: "Eirik, slapp av," sa hun med et smil, "det skjer med oss alle.En: "Eirik, relax," she said with a smile, "it happens to all of us.No: Håndter det tekniske, så kan vi ta presentasjonen senere.En: Handle the technical issues, then we can do the presentation later."No: "Bjorn lo klarere nå, men dyttet kameraet nærmere sitt eget ansikt.En: Bjorn laughed more clearly now but pushed the camera closer to his own face.No: "Jeg kan hjelpe deg med filteret senere, kompis.En: "I can help you with the filter later, buddy."No: "Eirik sank tilbake i stolen, tørt klønete, men munterne.En: Eirik sank back in his chair, dryly clumsy, but in good spirits.No: Han hadde kanskje mistet kontrollen over situasjonen, men han hadde vunnet støtte fra sine kolleger.En: He might have lost control over the situation, but he had won the support of his colleagues.No: Det var et øyeblikk av lettelse, en påminnelse om at selv arbeidsplassen kunne bruke litt humor.En: It was a moment of relief, a reminder that even the workplace could use a little humor.No: Han hadde lært at ingen forventet perfeksjon, bare oppriktighet.En: He had learned that no one expected perfection, just sincerity.No: Og sånn, mens solen skred over kontorlandskapet, forstod Eirik at et lite øyeblikk med teknisk kaos kunne bringe folk nærmere.En: And so, as the sun moved across the office landscape, Eirik realized that a small moment of technical chaos could bring people closer.No: For selv i en profesjonell sfære er det lov å le og leve.En: For even in a professional sphere, it's okay to laugh and live.

Leadership development is not about checking boxes. It is about building the awareness, communication, trust, and consistency required to help people grow, perform, and feel safe enough to do meaningful work. LaTonya Wilkins brings a powerful conversation on what it really means to lead below the surface. From psychological safety and culture to coaching, delegation, community, and connection across differences, this master class challenges leaders to stop treating leadership like a static skillset and start looking at how leadership is actually experienced by the people they serve. Learn how to honestly rate your leadership by asking better questions: • How clear is your communication? • How do people experience you in meetings, emails, and difficult conversations? • Are you giving people the guardrails they need without making them too tight? • Are you creating hope, trust, compassion, and stability? • Are you developing people, or just expecting them to perform? • Are burnout, churn, poor delegation, and low trust signs of a deeper leadership problem? This conversation also explores why many leadership development programs fail because they rely on outdated models, performative culture work, and initiatives that were never truly embedded into the organization. Real culture cannot be reduced to perks, titles, slogans, or temporary programs. It has to show up in how leaders communicate, make decisions, build teams, manage change, and create belonging. LaTonya also brings a needed perspective on coaching and community in a noisy market where too many people sell quick fixes without doing the real work. Strong leadership, real coaching, and healthy culture are all relationship businesses. They require trust, self-awareness, accountability, and the right people around you at every stage. For executives, founders, HR leaders, coaches, consultants, people managers, and anyone responsible for leading others, this conversation is a reminder that real leadership still wins when it is rooted in trust, development, culture, coaching, and community.

Leadership advisor and DEI expert Stacey Gordon returns to Leading Through Crisis to explain why diversity, equity, and inclusion should never be treated as a bolt-on "initiative," and why that mistake is exactly why so many companies have abandoned their DEI programs.  Stacey and host Céline Williams dig into why so many leaders struggle with flexibility and self-awareness, how communication breakdowns between managers and teams happen even when everyone has the best intentions, and why "inclusive leadership" is really just... good leadership.  They also unpack the biases quietly shaping hiring decisions, why leaders rarely get real feedback about how their teams actually experience them, and Stacey's free Leadership Reality Check quiz for anyone ready to find out the gap between how they think they lead and how their team sees them.  This conversation might just challenge how you think about communication, feedback, and what DEI actually means. — Stacey Gordon is a globally recognized keynote speaker, leadership advisor, and workplace culture strategist who helps organizations build inclusive, high-performing workplaces as they navigate today's evolving legal, social, and business landscape.  As the founder of Rework Work, Stacey partners with executive leaders, people managers, and HR and legal teams to strengthen talent systems, leadership capability, and workplace culture— relying on a foundation of legally sound, people-first approaches.

A new report accuses the world's most trusted human rights organizations of a problem that goes far beyond anti-Israel bias: antisemitism, and a culture that pushes out Jewish staff for naming it. This week, Yonit and Jonathan talk to Danielle Haas, a former senior editor at Human Rights Watch who spent 14 years inside the organization before co-founding EiGHT, a watchdog created to scrutinize the watchdogs. Drawing on interviews with over 70 staffers across nine major NGOs, the report documents internal messages calling for "liberating the world from Zionism," leadership reposting inflammatory rhetoric, and a pattern of employees being sidelined the moment they raised concerns.   00:00 Introduction to the Conversation 01:30 Danielle Haas's Background and Experience 03:43 Insights from the New Report on NGOs 07:58 Striking Findings and Internal Messaging 11:31 Challenges Faced by Jewish Employees 17:19 Lack of Accountability in Human Rights Organizations 21:08 Cultural Shifts and Generational Changes 24:46 Association with Militant Organizations 27:20 The Future of Human Rights Organizations 33:00 Reflections on Personal Experience and Change

Healing Work WoundsYour job can break your heart without ever breaking a law, and that gap is where so many professional women get stuck. We sit down with Bree, an attorney turned founder of Executive Unschool and host of the podcast How Good Can It Get, to name what so many people feel but rarely say out loud: workplace harm leaves real wounds, and your nervous system doesn't forget them just because you switched companies. We unpack the legal career reality behind the prestige, including the associate grind, billable-hour pressure, partnership goalposts, and the golden handcuffs of student debt and status. Bree shares how motherhood, entrepreneurship, and major career pivots reshaped her view of ambition, identity, and what it means to be “successful” when you also want to be present at home. Then we get actionable with healing and work recovery. Bree walks us through her “work wounds” framework (burnout, bullying, bad behavior, betrayal), why betrayal can be the hardest to unwind, and how separating worth from work creates space for faith, joy, and better boundaries. We also talk nervous system regulation, micro recoveries throughout the day, breathwork for scattered minds, and designing seasonality into your year so you can create, recover, and show up with more clarity. If you're craving a career that loves you back, hit play, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

In this episode of Stop Sabotaging Your Success, Cindy Esliger dives into why building professional relationships can feel uncomfortable, especially for women working in engineering, STEM, and other male-dominated environments. While technical competence matters, Cindy explains that career growth is also shaped by the informal networks we build through interaction. She discusses keeping everyone at arm's length to protect professional credibility and becoming the person everyone relies on emotionally, showing how both extremes can limit career opportunities, making a case for true connection. Cindy shares six common pitfalls that quietly undermine our success: 1. confusing boundaries with walls, 2. becoming everyone's person without receiving support in return, 3. dismissing connection as frivolous or unproductive, 4. showing up as all business and wondering why people think we're cold, 5. Letting fear of seeming weak prevent us from being human, and 6. assuming others will not reciprocate our first offer of connection. She also reframes three limiting beliefs that keep many professionals isolated. Strength is not handling everything alone. Workplaces are not always unsafe for authentic connection. Enduring is not the same as thriving. Cindy then shares practical strategies for building stronger relationships. Cindy emphasizes that engaging with colleagues is not a distraction from the work. It's part of the work. Strong professional relationships improve team dynamics, encourage innovation, create opportunities, and provide the reciprocal support needed to prevent burnout. She challenges listeners to begin with one simple action by asking a colleague a genuine question before their next meeting and listening with curiosity. Building meaningful professional relationships is a skill that grows with practice, and taking the first step can transform both career success and everyday work life.

Burnout in ABA is not always about long hours or packed schedules. Often, it comes from the emotional labor that accompanies supporting clients, families, staff, and teams every day. In this conversation, we explore the invisible demands of helping professions and how constantly staying regulated, managing difficult conversations, and carrying the concerns of others can quietly drain our energy over time.We discuss why burnout is often connected to boundaries, workplace systems, and the expectations we place on ourselves. Compassionate professionals frequently struggle with saying no, setting limits, or recognizing when they have reached capacity. Yet protecting our time and energy is not selfish. It is essential for providing ethical, high-quality care.We also share practical ways to recognize emotional overload, create sustainable boundaries, and build habits that support long-term success in the field.
