Multipliers

More about the book

Are you a genius or a genius maker? Leaders can be dramatically different in their impact on those around them. Some drain intelligence, energy, and capability, always needing to be the smartest in the room. These diminishers kill ideas and sap energy. In contrast, there are leaders who amplify the intelligence and capabilities of others. When they enter a room, creativity sparks, ideas flow, and problems get solved. These inspiring leaders, known as Multipliers, motivate employees to exceed expectations. The need for such leaders is critical, especially as organizations strive to achieve more with fewer resources. This engaging and practical book by leadership expert Liz Wiseman and management consultant Greg McKeown delves into the two leadership styles, illustrating how Multipliers can positively impact organizations by enhancing productivity, attracting talent, and fostering innovation. Through analysis of data from over 150 leaders, they identify five disciplines that set Multipliers apart from Diminishers. These disciplines are skills anyone can learn, including those who have always been Diminishers. With lively case studies and practical techniques, the book demonstrates how to become a Multiplier, unlocking the potential of the energy and intelligence around you.
