Multipliers

Liz Wiseman is a researcher and executive counselor who travels the world teaching leadership. She is the New York Times bestselling author of Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, The Multiplier Effect: Tapping the Genius Within Our Schools, and The Multiplier Effect: Tapping the Genius Within Our Schools. Rookie Smarts: Why Learning Beats Knowing in the New Game of Work, and Impact Players: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact, both Wall Street Journal bestsellers.

A revised and updated edition of the Wall Street Journal best-seller that investigates why some leaders drain capability and intelligence from their people while others magnify it to achieve superior results.

We've all had encounters with two very different types of leaders. The first type saps the brains, energy, and capability of everyone around them and is always the smartest person in the room. These are the people who kill ideas, drain energy, and reduce talent and devotion. On the other end of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to boost the intelligence and capacities of others around them. When these leaders enter a room, people's brains light up; ideas flow, and problems are solved. These are the leaders who motivate their teams to go above and beyond to create results that exceed expectations. These are known as Multipliers. And the world needs more of them now, especially as leaders are being asked to achieve more with less.

Liz Wiseman, a leadership expert, explores these two leadership styles in this engaging and highly practical book, convincingly demonstrating how Multipliers can have a resoundingly positive and profitable effect on organizations—getting more done with fewer resources, developing and attracting talent, and cultivating new ideas and energy to drive organizational change and innovation.

In Multipliers, Wiseman identified five disciplines that distinguish Multipliers from Diminishers after examining data from more than 150 leaders. These five disciplines do not require intrinsic talent; rather, they are skills and practices that anyone may learn to utilize, including longtime and obstinate Diminishers. Lively, real-world case studies, as well as practical ideas and tactics, bring each of these concepts to life, demonstrating how to become a Multiplier yourself, whether you are a novice or veteran manager. This beloved classic has been updated with additional Multiplier examples, as well as two new chapters on unintentional Diminishers and how to deal with Diminishers.

Imagine what you could achieve if you could channel all of the energy and intellect in your environment. Multipliers will demonstrate how.
