Good leadership is easy to spot. You know it when you see and experience it. It’s the same with bad or toxic leadership. You’ve probably worked for both kinds of leader. I’ve worked for both and I’ve also had the opportunity to speak at conference where I’ve interacted with CEOs and presidents, VPs and sales managers. That’s where I have been able to find my leadership stories.

Listen and learn as I share four stories that illustrate good and bad leadership. And then, get to work crafting your leaderships stories.

Returning guest and my friend 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. She is the CEO of the Wiseman Group, a leadership research and development firm headquartered in Silicon Valley, California.

Liz has been listed on the Thinkers50 ranking, and in 2019 she was recognized as a top leadership thinker in the world. 

Today, Liz joins me to talk about her new book, Impact Players: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact. She explains why it’s important to emphasize contributorship and not just leadership, and she talks about why your goal should be to be useful, not important. She explains why following your passion usually involves putting it aside at the beginning. 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 Wiseman
