Detailed description:
A revised and updated edition of the acclaimed Wall Street Journal bestseller that explores why some leaders drain capability and intelligence from their teams while others amplify it to produce better results.
We’ve all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drains intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always needs to be the smartest person 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, light bulbs 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.

‘Multipliers’ is a book that looks at the leadership role in a newly articulated way. A “multiplier” is the type of person and leader that makes people around them better performers. On the other hand, you have “diminishes” whom may be very intelligent and qualified, plus diligent, but they diminish the capabilities of those they work with. The landscape of leadership has changed according to the author. A great leader is no longer the genius at the top, but rather those around them that they raise to genius level acuity and propel to work their best. I think there’s truth to this, and as I grow my companies I’m working on I will take that approach to heart. Intuitively, it resonates with me as I do not feel that my personal will and intelligence are good enough to thrust a great organization forward, but rather I have to inspire those I will work with in the future. A good example is my favorite current NBA basketball player, Lebron James. What makes Lebron great is not only his individual skill and talent, but also his ability to raise the level of performance of his teammates and his organization. He doesn’t inspire by fear and he doesn’t scold and scare other players into performing better, but rather he inspires by his own efforts and confidence in his teammates.
All of that being said, I give this book a 3-star rating because as it was an interesting read, with many interesting case studies, it dragged on much too long and got too deeply involved with vague examples of the author’s workings with many companies. While I believe in the multiplier effect, I don’t know if every example in the book was pertinent. I believe it may have just been too long of a book. It’s filled with lists, jargon, steps, etc. I read from cover to back, but on this one, you may reconsider that. I had to skip a few pages that I had not had the patience for. I still read around 95%+ of the book, so no worries, I didn’t skim! But I certainly could have and gotten the point that way. Although I’ve rated it 3-stars, it certainly isn’t a bad book and I have many highlights in it that I will surely refer to in the future when running my own organization.

Adorei a qualidade do livro, porém, fiquei frustrado porque a capa amarela é apenas uma folha que envolve a capa dura que se resume a uma capa azul. Contudo, a qualidade do material é excelente e valeu cada centavo.

I liked how this book outlined the Multipliers vs. Diminishers. There were good examples, exercises to try, and encouragement to get others involved. I plan to use the suggestions with my team, peers, and leadership.

Was a Christmas gift for my husband. He is half way through the book already and he only got it three days ago. He is thrilled with it.

As others have said, it’s not necessarily a great book to read — it’s not exciting, it’s repetitive, and it could be a whole lot shorter. However, it IS very impactful and full of some great info that I’ve been able to start implementing IMMEDIATELY. This is the first book in a while that I pulled out a highlighter for and actually marked it up. There are a lot of things in it that I want to revisit.
Ultimately, the book helps shine a light at your management style and most people reading it will likely realize that they’re being an accidental diminisher in certain aspects of their work. This book helps identify those areas and offers ways to improve on them.

I really enjoyed this book and the ideas behind being a multiplier and an accidental diminisher. It challenges the reader to see how they may be accidentally hurting their team in spite of their intentions. My one negative is the book split on me(see above) in spite of my taking good care of it.
