Diminishers create a culture of fear and doubt from "summary" of Multipliers by Liz Wiseman,Greg McKeown
Diminishers have a way of instilling fear and doubt in their teams without even realizing it. They may think they are pushing their team to do their best, but in reality, they are creating an environment where people are afraid to speak up or take risks. This culture of fear and doubt can be toxic to productivity and innovation.
When a Diminisher is always quick to point out mistakes or criticize ideas, team members start second-guessing themselves. They become afraid to speak up in meetings or share their thoughts because they fear being shut down. This fear not only stifles creativity but also erodes trust within the team.
Diminishers also create doubt by constantly micromanaging their team members. Instead of empowering them to make decisions and take ownership of their work, Diminishers feel the need to control every aspect of a project. This lack of trust can make team members doubt their own abilities and lead to a reliance on the Diminisher for guidance.
In a culture of fear and doubt, team members are less likely to take risks or try new things. They become more focused on avoiding mistakes than on achieving success. This can hinder innovation and prevent the team from reaching its full potential.
To break free from this cycle, leaders must shift their mindset from being Diminishers to becoming Multipliers. Multipliers create a culture of trust and empowerment where team members feel valued and encouraged to take risks. By fostering a positive and supportive environment, Multipliers can unlock the full potential of their team and drive greater success.
