HOW TO LEAD LIKE A MULTIPLIER

Truly great leaders use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

Business Results Group, the exclusive provider of Multipliers™ Training & Assessments in Sub-Saharan Africa, invite you to embark on a journey to become a Multiplier Leader. Join this highly engaging practical virtual Instructor-Led workshop to learn how to lead like a Multiplier; understand how certain behaviours may be accidentally diminishing and acquire the skills and toolset to increasingly integrate Multiplier traits into your leadership style.

About

Learn to become a Genius Maker

Dive deep into the key disciplines that distinguish Multipliers from other leaders and learn how to develop a culture of Multiplying intelligence. Receive skill-building opportunities in areas where Multiplier leadership practices can practically and quickly be put to work, whether that’s inside your organisation, team, community or family. Participants will walk away having:

Tools to practice new Multiplier behaviours.
Identified where they may be accidentally diminishing.
The steps to create a culture of genius making.

During this practical and engaging workshop you will develop an understanding of the research behind the Multipliers™ theory and start to recognise the impact that traditional approaches to leadership have on team performance and morale. At the same time, through an understanding of the Multipliers™ behaviours, you will engage with the resoundingly positive and profitable effects that Multipliers™ have on performance – how they develop and attract talent, cultivate new ideas, get more done with fewer resources and create the energy to drive change and innovation. Practical and relevant, the Multipliers™ workshop guides leaders through a series of experiments that systematically unpack the Multiplier practices and behaviours. Each practice is designed to allow you to understand your own style as well as learn from the success and failure of others. Download the full brochure for more information

Optional Additions to the Multipliers™ Workshop:

Multipliers™ 360 Assessment: Using the full breadth of Multiplier-Diminisher behaviours, this robust 79-question, multi-rater assessment allows a leader to quickly access a baseline across the Multipliers™ model. The report includes a net score (Multiplier behaviours minus Diminisher behaviours) across each of the five disciplines. It also includes the Top 5 Multiplier behaviours and the Top 5 Diminisher behaviours to allow an individual to quickly identify a few high-leverage starting points.

Multipliers™ Self Assessment: : This report is based on the same 79 questions that make up the Multipliers™ 360 and provides a quick approximation of the ways participants may be Multiplying or Diminishing the intelligence of the people around them. The report includes a net score (Multiplier behaviours minus Diminisher behaviours) across each of the five disciplines. A sample report is available upon request.

Agenda

The first module will expose you to the Multipliers research, theory, and model, highlighting the key traits of Multipliers and Diminishers, and what we sometimes d “accidentally” that we think is good leadership, but which can have a diminishing effect.

You will work in small teams and breakouts, learning from peers, while you hone your own leadership skills and expertise.

I want to express my heartfelt thanks for the time and energy you spent with our team. I often find myself ‘learning’ because of unplanned encounters and feel like I have taken a giant leap in terms of this growth since our encounter. I am extremely grateful to you.

Wow, I found tremendous value out of this workshop and want to thank you personally for the time you took to come over and impart some of your insightful and practical pearls with us regarding talent, leadership and culture.

My aha! moment was finding out that I need to understand the learning styles of my stakeholders and pitch my presentations appropriately.
Zilase Banda
FNB

Best course that I have done in 10 years (if not ever).
Grayson Vollenhoven
Prudential

Practicing the skills being taught during the course ensured that it did not remain only theory. It provided a safe environment to learn and experiment with the new skills so that I am now confident to apply it. I am now comfortable, and even look forward to, presenting.
Mr. Lourens
Mediclinic

You’re able to apply the learnings immediately and find you listen to other people’s presentations, speeches, etc. in a new way! The training is certainly worth the price and this was the first training course that I really felt I could apply immediately in my day‐to‐day work, without too much effort.
Anne Potgieter
Avon (Pty) Ltd

The facilitation by Kirsty was excellent. The course was one of the few practical “training sessions” and hence added a lot more value than traditional training sessions. The concepts that were taught are easy to understand and put to use!
Muneer Omar
Mediclinic

The presenters passion for the content was compelling. The course was genuinely interesting and provides a valuable structure for communication.
