Story
Why do only a few people get to say "I love my job?" It seems unfair that finding fulfillment at work is like winning a lottery; that only a few lucky ones get to feel valued by their organizations, to feel like they belong. Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders are creating environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things.

Margaret Heffernan argues that the biggest threats and dangers we face are the ones we don't see - not because they're secret or invisible, but because we're willfully blind. A distinguished businesswoman and writer, she examines the phenomenon and traces its imprint in our private and working lives, and within governments and organizations, and asks: What makes us prefer ignorance? What are we so afraid of? Why do some people see more than others? And how can we change?

The new study: Great by Choice distinguishes itself from Collins’s prior work by its focus on the type of unstable environments faced by leaders today.

For decades, Peter F. Drucker was widely regarded as "the dean of this country's business and management philosophers" ( Wall Street Journal). In this concise and brilliant work, he looks to the most influential position in management - the executive. The measure of the executive, Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done". This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive.

By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy - instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing - it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

Publisher's Summary
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Mandatory Reading for Leaders
If you could sum up Multipliers, Revised and Updated in three words, what would they be?
Understand Leadership, Sucka!
What did you like best about this story?
It provides a framework for leading different personalities and enabling their inherent talents.
What about Liz Wiseman and John Meagher ’s performance did you like?
Clearly presented and fluent. Honestly, I did not realize it was the author since many audible books are professional voice actors.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Turning opposition to symbiosis
Any additional comments?
This book discusses Multipliers and their opposite, euphemistically named Accidental Diminishers. The Multipliers portion seems obvious, while the Deminisher side was eye-opening. Assuming the readers are mentally stable, invested in their company, and have a genuine desire to lead a successful team, applying the principles to your workplace will improve the culture.
My only negative is the excessive "name dropping" and repeated mention of accolades. We purchased the book, you've already sold us and you are awesome! Don't try so hard ;)

What was most disappointing about Liz Wiseman and Stephen Covey - foreword ’s story?
The findings were interesting but it was too long. Felt like the content was stretched for the purpose of publishing. This would have sufficed as an HBR article.

Must Listen, digest and use
I listened to the first Multipliers book and shared it with friends. I saw the direct use of it in a business owner with whom I shared. For me this version hit home even more directly. Easily it may have been the second listen to certain principles or a different place in life. For anyone in any position, working or family will benefit whether you have listened to the first or this is your first. in fact listen as many times as it takes to practice and use. More often than not, as life changes, so does the relevance of different chapters. I found the new chapter about managing diminishers to be a perfect lesson for coaching other friends and family.

Incredible Resource for Leaders
This is an incredible book to read/listen to if you're looking at building an effective team, developing your leadership style, trying to work with a difficult leader, etc.
Liz Wiseman (author) reads the book herself and I think that only increases the delivery of the content.
I can't profess to be the type who reads 100 books a year; I probably manage 25-35, but this book has been the best book I've read in this past year.

Amazing read! A must have for anyone in business
What did you love best about Multipliers, Revised and Updated?
The content is current, easy to digest and even easier to implement
What does Liz Wiseman and John Meagher bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
This audible has an easy flow and by hearing the authors read it to me, I feel as if I am face to face or learning in their classroom.
Any additional comments?
What an inspirational book. I have already begun to change the way I lead my team. It has opened me up to limitless opportunities. There are many great lessons to be learned here and I felt as though the author was holding my hand and helping me to make effective change every step of the way.

good to a point
I was really enjoying the content until I got to the point where resources and tools were recommended.
I was disappointed to find that the tools were either very basic (free) or more detailed but at a cost (one priced at $500). The book seemed to take on a more marketing approach for the authors consulting services as opposed to a DIY help book.
I also felt that the publishers were dragging content out in the last few chapters - mostly anecdotal and very generalist.
