Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter

Are you a genius or a genius maker?

We've all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders.
The first type, "Diminishers" drain intelligence, energy, & capability from the ones around them & always need to be the smartest ones in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy zappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment.

On the other side of the spectrum are the "Multipliers" leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the intelligence & capabilities of the people around them. When these leaders walk into a room, lightbulbs go off over people's heads, ideas flow, & problems get solved. These are the leaders who inspire employees to stretch themselves to deliver results that surpass expectations.  The world needs more of them, especially now, when leaders are expected to do more with less.

In Multipliers, leadership expert Liz Wiseman & management consultant Greg McKeown explore these two leadership styles, showing how Multipliers can have a resoundingly positive & profitable effect on organizations- getting more done with fewer resources, developing/attracting talent, & cultivating new ideas/energy to drive organizational change & innovation.

In analyzing data from more than 150 leaders, Wiseman & McKeown have identified five disciplines that distinguish Multipliers from Diminishers. These five disciplines are not based on innate talent; they are skills & practices that everyone can learn to use. Real-world case studies and practical tips and techniques bring to life each of these principles, showing you how to become a Multiplier, whether you are a new or an experienced manager. Just imagine what you could accomplish if you could harness all the energy & intelligence around you. Multipliers will show you how.
