Multipliers, Revised and Updated

How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter

De: Liz Wiseman, Stephen Covey - foreword

Narrado por: Liz Wiseman, John Meagher

A revised and updated edition of the acclaimed Wall Street Journal best seller that explores why some leaders drain capability and intelligence from their teams while others amplify it to produce better results.

We've all had experiences with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest people in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them. When these leaders walk into a room, lightbulbs go off over people's heads; ideas flow, and problems get solved. These are the leaders who inspire employees to stretch themselves to deliver results that surpass expectations. These are the Multipliers. And the world needs more of them - especially now, when leaders are expected to do more with less.

In this engaging and highly practical book, leadership expert Liz Wiseman explores these two leadership styles, persuasively showing 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 analyzing data from more than 150 leaders, Wiseman has identified five disciplines that distinguish Multipliers from Diminishers. These five disciplines are not based on innate talent; indeed, they are skills and practices that everyone can learn to use - even lifelong and recalcitrant Diminishers. Lively real-world case studies and practical tips and techniques bring to life each of these principles, showing you how to become a Multiplier, too, whether you are a new or an experienced manager. This revered classic has been updated with new examples of Multipliers as well as two new chapters - one on accidental Diminishers and one on how to deal with Diminishers.

Just imagine what you could accomplish if you could harness all the energy and intelligence around you. Multipliers will show you how.

One of the top 5 business books I've ever read...

Well researched, well written, insightful and engaging. One of the few books I'll read twice.

This was a great book for me! I could see both my multiplier and my diminisher tendencies and it has already helped me to see the genius in those around me!

Brilliance in every way!

Wise words from Wiseman

Thoroughly enjoyed the story driven approach to outlining ways to be an effective leader. Well read!

Excellent read.

There are books you read and you're like, yeah that's nice, but I kinda knew all of this already. They are enjoyable to a degree but not really life changing or impactful. THIS IS NOT THAT BOOK. This book, in my opinion is incredible! Yes, there is some repetition, but if you're looking for a thought provoking read that will help you identify where you could be doing more to inspire and lead your team as well as work better with your peers, this is it. For me, this gets at the heart of the true responsibility of a leader.
