Because trying to make a complete change in how you deal with food, see food, consume food is daunting. multiplier effect, I don't see how, unless we change our eating habits to shift away from meat,
give 'em a ton of space. They give 'em hard things and they leave them alone. Okay. Multiplier got? male in audience: I mean I said 120 percent because it made me smarter, hundred doesn't make, and the diminisher 10 percent.Liz Wiseman: Okay, multiplier 120, diminisher 10. Okay.
numbers let us know. Let me know. Multiplier ? male in audience: Do you want a sum?Liz Wiseman: I want an average. I did not explain that well. I want an average.
Diminishers tend to be geniuses; people who find strength in their own intelligence. It's what they rely on, they rely on their own intelligence to get their job done. Multipliers tend to be genius makers. They themselves might be brilliant and capable, but they see their role as a leader as to create and amplify intelligence around them.Do we have our numbers?
you thought about when we asked you to identify two leaders. But in reality there's a bell curve between this and most of us don't sit at these polar extremes. There's a few people multipliers they're asking that question wanting an answer, and they're gonna ask it in a way that people, people are, it's a natural gravitational pull to wanna be knowledgeable and to wanna
half. They'll time multiplier , and the truth is we saw that 90% of the things worked without a
Right here, Yvonne. Yvonne: Okay. So the diminisher, what they did was they took credit for my work and limited my exposure. The percentage of the capability was 70 percent. The multiplier put me in stretch spots and believed in me -- Liz Wiseman: Okay. Yvonne: and got 110.
if -- if it detects photons, it gives you an electrical signal. That's all -- in very basic terms that's what they are. So they've got these giant spheres of photo-multiplier tubes that have been submerged about one kilometer deep into the lake and they're essentially watching for a neutrino coming to hit a molecule of water and trying to look for that blue light. There are about 228 of these, uh, uh, photo-multiplier tubes deep inside the lake. If you are
It was a company called Moodstocks. Good-- Multipliers . Yes. And I'm still optimistic in most of them.
place. The debate happens. What multipliers learn is that you just have to figure out when to do it, how to do it, so that it can actually help make a really smart decision, drive a sound decision. And this is what we found. They were debate makers, they would frame how those decisions were made and how the debate took place.
you thought about when we asked you to identify two leaders. But in reality there's a bell curve between this and most of us don't sit at these polar extremes. There's a few people What multipliers do is they use all of their own intelligence too. They know that their brain power is important so they in some ways -- you could look at it as a lack of ego
So there are what economists would call multiplier effects, and we can quantify that. We actually find a multiplier effect of 2.5. For every dollar that goes in, there's $2.50 more economic activity in these areas.
This is an interaction. Engagement is the second multiplier . If we are not engaged, we don't use our intelligence.
And if we are not engaged, we tick the boxes in a compliant way, 100%, and no plane will take off. Engagement is another multiplier of intelligence. Cooperation-- the value added through collaboration.
having finished what they were doing with that first pulse. You only need the multiplier when you're multiplying two variables together.
And there was this moment when the game is a couple of years late. There's this multiplier effect which I think we've described, which we think really unlocks this willingness for people to spend huge amounts of money on something that is delivering
Gary uses technology to create the opportunity for others to improve the future of America, and by extension, the rest of the world. In this multiplier effect, the distributed disruptive technology can be hugely impactful and extremely efficient in addressing some of our pressing problems. Before I close, here's a little bit of information about Gary.
It's about bringing people together in physical ways. And the multiplier effect of that is hard to describe. But you watch it happen.
But Jobs realized, you know what, it's not enough to just put people in the same building, we need to force them to mix and mingle. You get this social multiplier effect in the cities.
Right here. Start with your multiplier . male in audience: Multiplier believed in me, trusted me, left me alone to do the work and the diminisher only, kind of like only let, let their opinions be counted and put myself, put the whole group down and didn't listen to anybody.
Over here, thank you. Start with your multiplier . male in audience: The multiplier explained the needs and the diminisher, and the diminisher assigned tasks.
Start with your multiplier . male in audience: The multiplier explained the needs and the diminisher, and the diminisher assigned tasks. Liz Wiseman: Okay one explains the need, they explain the why. It's a big part of what multipliers do is they explain the why behind the work 'cause when people tell us why, we
Liz Wiseman: Twenty five. Okay. Up here, your multiplier and then diminisher. male in audience: The multiplier created a lot of excitement about the project whereas the diminisher really seemed kind of bored with the, my work and with what the group was doing. Liz Wiseman: Yeah. So excitement on the multiplier , boredom on the diminisher.
was on someone's screen, "What are they doing? I gotta be here, they won't get on with work if I'm not around hovering there." And another multiplier the, which at the time John Chambers hired his first VP and he said, "Listen," he said, "this is how it's gonna work from here on out. You're gonna be in charge of this. Everything in your area 51 percent, I'm in charge 49 percent. You come to me, I'll advise you, I want to have input, but you own this." And so he had this sense
are already there, but many of us probably have some seeds of diminisher in our leadership based on how we kinda have grown up in our career. Can you become a multiplier ? And how do you become one? I'd like to just start with Bill Campbell as an example. I mentioned Bill Campbell, multiplier , CEO of Intuit, and now coach to Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt, Larry, Sergey, but
So I went down, Greg and I went down, we sat with him in his office and he said, "Oh no. I'm not a multiplier . Well maybe now, but I didn't start this way." He said, "Let me tell you how I started my career. I began my career as a diminisher. I came outta Columbia, I was the head football coach, I was all about telling people what to do. I was calling all the plays.
you thought about when we asked you to identify two leaders. But in reality there's a bell curve between this and most of us don't sit at these polar extremes. There's a few people in one factor and multipliers in a different situation? How do you characterize, like when do you find out what-what situation you are multiplier and diminisher in?
you thought about when we asked you to identify two leaders. But in reality there's a bell curve between this and most of us don't sit at these polar extremes. There's a few people can be a multiplier to your boss. And I think you'll find that if you ask those questions people will step in to answer them.
can make people more capable, more productive, and we would venture to say smarter. They can actually be multipliers . I want to start with a very simple question.
We're gonna talk a little bit more about Bill later. We discovered these multipliers , these people as Greg and I embarked on our research journey that started in a very simple observation. It, so it's an observation based on my 17 years at Oracle where I ran the corporate university and got to work with the top executive team.
Third, we found that diminishers tended to be know-it-alls. I mean they just, just thought that what they knew was the most important thing, they had to be the smartest person in the room versus multipliers who are challengers. We heard about that, these stretch assignments that really push people beyond what they know how to do. It's really just the difference between thinking that your job is to have
We're focused on the patient experience. We call it the experience multiplier for the patient. Not just the technical requirements of health but how people can feel better in the spaces and the hospitals and the spaces that we're in.
They start hiring more workers, including some workers from other households that didn't get the cash. So there are what economists would call multiplier effects, and we can quantify that. We actually find a multiplier effect of 2.5.
Cooperation-- the value added through collaboration. The cross-functional value added is another multiplier . To me, there are many examples, but when we don't cooperate, we need more resources, we need more time.
That's the new record of cooperation. I told you-- cooperation is a multiplier of intelligence, and it takes intelligence to solve this problem. Look, those who carry the baton are slower, but the baton is faster.
But the first method that was successful happened in Rutherford's labs. And it is a sort of voltage multiplier circuit, which we call a Cockcroft-Walton circuit. So they had to have a very large transformer, a rectifier to turn the voltage from AC to DC.
But on the 3rd of May I heard from somebody called Lee Smith at advancedRISCMachines.co.uk. And so we added a faster multiplier .
And that's what we're going to focus most on today. But we also have a high speed multiplier that took three racks. It was built around good old-fashioned multiplication tables.
So does it scale up like multiplier or does it scale up like square root, as various things in statistics scale up?
But that's a big multiplier .
I still wanted to put a multiplier effect on this impact.
No change meant the same old multiplier , the same old percentage increase.
Here's a 16 by 16 multiplier .
was doing. Liz Wiseman: Yeah. So excitement on the multiplier , boredom on the diminisher. And your numbers are for the multiplier ? male in audience: One hundred.
winter they go there, cut a hole in the ice, a diver dives in, into fridged waters and essentially locates the buoy and gets it out and using that they haul out the so-called string of photo-multiplier tubes. These -- they're just long strings which are all the way sort of 1 kilometer underwater. And, uh, this is a picture of what the photo-multiplier tubes look like. So, uh, pairs of these are essentially strung down into the water. And, uh, just a scene of how the
out the so-called string of photo-multiplier tubes. These -- they're just long strings which are all the way sort of 1 kilometer underwater. And, uh, this is a picture of what the photo-multiplier tubes look like. So, uh, pairs of these are essentially strung down into the water. And, uh, just a scene of how the lake looks there. This is the old Trans-Siberian railway which goes along that section of the lake. It's not used by the Trans-Siberian railway anymore. Uh,
you thought about when we asked you to identify two leaders. But in reality there's a bell curve between this and most of us don't sit at these polar extremes. There's a few people We haven't yet studied like do multipliers sort of like breed other multipliers . We know people flock to them.
And I always think about it as some kind of force multiplier .
They look at special operations as a 10x force multiplier on the battlefield.
of which the first term is seven and the multiplier seven.' But now these puzzles serve a grander purpose.
