How do the best leaders make their team smarter? In surveys, it’s common to hear people say they’re contributing 60% at their jobs. Unlocking people’s potential is a skill that can be worked on, and there are ways to bring out the best in people so that they give beyond what they thought they were capable of.

Ephie Risho and Jason Moore jump in to the topic by covering the first few chapters of Liz Wiseman’s book Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter. Diminishers are those who tell people what to do, and oftentimes are geniuses themselves. While they may be the smartest person in the room, leading by directing and having others rely on them results in people giving less than they are capable of.

Multipliers see intelligence in everyone, and engage in certain practices that are most effective. Liz highlights five: the talent magnet, the liberator, the challenger, the debate maker, and the investor. In this episode, Ephie & Jason cover the overall idea and the talent magnet, as usual, bringing in their personal experiences to shed light on the topic.

Managing time well requires daily, intentional effort and a strong system to keep organized and on track. While there are many systems and approaches, the kanban has proven time and again to be an incredibly simple, yet useful system to achieve great things in any situation. Life can be full of a wide range of stages which require very different kinds of approaches to managing time. For example, in a crisis, you may need to accomplish dozens of things in a day. Or when managing a long-term project, there are many things to track and oversee.

This simple tool can cover it all! In this follow-up episode, Jason Moore and Ephie Risho dig more deeply into the book Personal Kanban: Mapping Work | Navigating Life by Jim Benson and Tonianne DeMaria Barry. Among other topics, the Urgent/Important Stephen Covey quadrants are picked apart for the good and the bad aspects of what they have to offer. As usual, Ephie & Jason bring their own experiences and insights, and dig down rabbit holes to consider far more than the book’s contents. Join us for this episode, and be inspired to take control of your time far more effectively.
