Liz Wiseman is a business executive serving as president of The Wiseman Group, a research and development center. She is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Wiseman earned her bachelor’s degree in business management and master’s degree in organizational behavior, both from Brigham Young University.

She works at home with her husband; his work was in real estate and investing, but he is now part of her consulting firm.

She is the author of three best-selling books: Rookie Smarts: Why Learning Beats Knowing in the New Game of Work, Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter (with Greg Mckeown), and The Multiplier Effect: Tapping the Genius Inside Our Schools (with Lois N. Allen).

She and her husband, Larry, are parents of four children. They travel extensively with their family and live in the Bay Area.
