Multipliers

Mehr zum Buch

This revised and updated edition of a bestselling book delves into the contrasting effects of two leadership styles: those who drain capability and intelligence from their teams and those who amplify it for better results. The first type of leader, often the smartest in the room, stifles creativity and energy, becoming an idea killer and diminishing talent. In contrast, the second type inspires and elevates their team, fostering an environment where ideas flourish and challenges are overcome. These leaders, known as Multipliers, are essential in today's world, where maximizing resources is crucial. Leadership expert Liz Wiseman examines these styles, demonstrating how Multipliers positively impact organizations by achieving more with less, nurturing talent, and driving innovation. Through analysis of data from over 150 leaders, Wiseman identifies five disciplines that set Multipliers apart from Diminishers. These are not innate traits but skills that anyone can learn, including those who may have been Diminishers in the past. The book features engaging case studies and practical strategies to help both new and seasoned managers become Multipliers. Updated with fresh examples and new chapters on accidental Diminishers and strategies for dealing with them, this classic work empowers readers to harness the full potential of their teams.
