We’ve all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type, Diminishers, drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest person in the room.  The second type, Multipliers, are the leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

Leaders will learn how they are accidental diminishers and what they can do instead to become multipliers.

Leadership is normally taught as ‘how things ought to be’ or how to self-regulate behaviors.  Yet, the reality of how leadership is done is vastly different.  There is an element of self-regulating, but more importantly is having a sophisticated understanding of power and ethically using to activate results within a system.  The most effect leaders have a high need for power and high ability to self-regulate.  In this session we will explore seven types of power and our individual and collective use of them.  What types of power do we rely on?  What are the outcomes of that approach?  What types of power does the organization need us to use more of?  How might we go about doing that?

Some decisions like what to have for lunch do not require a lengthy process, you can just listen to your tongue and stomach to determine what you want!  But other decisions – complex or wicked problems – require leaders to be mastery in framing, setting goals, gathering information, identifying solutions, deciding, and implementing.  Since we don’t valorize decision-making, we often don’t think or practice the skill necessary to be masterful!  Yet decision-making skills are essential for addressing conflicts, solving problems and making decisions – especially in complex situations.  What parts of decision-making are we not leveraging?  How might we create direction for the organization that would activate these capabilities?
