Is Your Leadership Style Amplifying or Accidentally Diminishing Your Team’s Potential? with Elise Foster

Episode Overview

Join host Susan Quinn as she sits down with Elise Foster, co-author of “The Multiplier Effect,” for an engaging conversation about transformative leadership. Discover how some leaders inspire and elevate their teams while others unintentionally hold them back. Elise shares her unique journey from engineering to executive coaching and reveals powerful strategies for cultivating curiosity, intentionality, and self-awareness. Tune in to learn how you can become a multiplier and create a thriving, growth-oriented culture within your organization.

If we’re constantly removing the roadblocks and creating a space where people don’t struggle at all, they aren’t invited to exercise their thinking and push further and grow through that experience.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The ways in which multipliers enhance intelligence among their teams and in turn inspire remarkable growth and innovation.
• How to create an environment where struggling and learning from mistakes is not only accepted but encouraged.
• Which types of questions can foster collaboration and growth.
• How to use “balcony moments” to step back and gain perspective on your actions and their impact on your team.
