Liz Wiseman, president of The Wiseman Group, offering executive coaching and leadership development services. A former vice-president of Oracle in charge of Oracle University and head of global HR development, she has written a new book, Multipliers – How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter. It attempts to answer the question: how do some leaders create intelligence around them, while others diminish it?

The author interviewed 150 senior executives at companies where individual and organisational intelligence provide a competitive advantage, such as Apple, Cisco, Infosys, Intuit, IDEO, McKinsey, Microsoft, Oracle, P&G, and SAP.
