My surname is Bungay Stanier. It used to be just Stanier, but when I got married back in 1995, Marcella and I combined our surnames. ‘Stanier Bungay’ was never going to work, so, Bungay Stanier it was - and so it remains. When people get my surname right, there’s not much expectation that it’s a clue to who I am, where I’m from, or what I do.  But that’s not the case with my guest today; her surname and how she shows up in the world appear to be a perfect fit. Liz Wiseman is a unique presence in the management and leadership development world, and a wonderful author. She’s justly celebrated for her book Multipliers, and undoubtedly will be for her current book that’s just coming out, Impact Players.
