Show Notes: MLDC Book of the Week – Multipliers
Episode 348 of The HaltingWinter Podcast

What if the biggest performance gap in your organization isn't a budget problem or a staffing problem, but a leadership problem? Specifically, yours?

In this episode, Seth works through Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter by Liz Wiseman, a book that draws a sharp line between leaders who amplify the intelligence around them and leaders who, often without realizing it, suppress it. The research is clear: Diminisher leaders access roughly half of their team's actual capability. Multipliers access nearly all of it. The difference isn't talent or intention. It's behavior.

Seth unpacks why local government is a particularly fertile environment for accidental diminishing and what the five Multiplier disciplines look like when applied inside the real constraints of civil service systems, elected oversight, and public scrutiny.
