★★ WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER ★★
 
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.
 
Are you a genius or a genius maker? , Why do some leaders create a positive impact on people around them while others don’t?
 
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.
 
Based on research of more than 150 executives across 4 continents, Liz Wiseman discovered that leaders can be placed on a spectrum between two extremes: Multipliers vs Diminishers.

• Multipliers are leaders who bring out others’ capability and intelligence. They’re “genius makers” who multiply an organization’s collective intelligence.

• Diminishers are leaders who’re so absorbed in their own genius that they stifle others’, thus depleting the organization’s vital intellectual resources.
 
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.


Who the Diminishers are :
Diminisher leaders are genius. However… These leaders are absorbed in their own intelligence, stifle others, and deplete the organisation of crucial intelligence and capability. A Diminisher believes that:
● Intelligence is based on elitism and scarcity
● Really intelligent people are a rare breed
● They are one of the few really smart people – other people will never figure things out without them
● Intelligence as static – it doesn’t change over time or circumstance
 
Who the Multipliers are :
Multipliers are genius makers. These leaders amplify the intelligence in others. They build collective, viral intelligence in organisations. A Multiplier believes that:
● Intelligence as continually developing – what Carol Dweck calls the “growth mindset”
● People are smart, they will figure things out, and they will get smarter in the process
● Their organisation is full of talented people who are capable of contributing at much higher levels
● Instead of writing people off as not worth their time, they ask, “What could be done to develop and grow their capabilities?”
● Their job is to bring the right people together in an environment that liberates people’s best thinking, and then to get out of their way
 
Becoming a Multiplier starts with a shift in our assumptions around five core multiplier practices. The difference between Multipliers and Diminishers come from their difference in mindsets. Diminishers assume that people can’t figure things out without them, while Multipliers assume that people are smart and can work things out. Such assumptions drive their behaviors differently in Five Disciplines of the Multipliers.

◆ Talent magnet, shine a light on people’s genius rather than being a diminishing empire builder, hoarding resources for your own gain. (The Talent Magnet: Attracts and optimizes talent)

◆ Liberator, create a climate where people can do their best thinking and maintain an intensity that demand’s their best work. Contrast this with the dominating tyrant, creating tension and diminishing thinking and work. (The Liberator: Requires people’s best thinking)

◆ Challenger, define opportunities that stretch and support people to go beyond what they know how to do, rather than being the know-it-all who gives directives and sucks up all the oxygen in the room with their own ideas. (The Challenger: Extends challenges)

◆ Debate Maker, my personal favourite, access breadth and depth of thinking, honed through rigorous debate rather the more common decision makers – efficient with their inner circle but leaving the wider organisation in the dark. (The Debate Maker: Debates decisions)

◆ Investor, inspire independent results by giving ownership, investing in resources and holding people to account instead of the micro-manager, managing every detail to keep control and dependency. (The Investor: Instills accountability)
 
Most diminishers are not tyrannical bullies – the majority of us can be accidental diminishers– leaders with the best intentions, trying to do their best for their organisations and people. Tackling our diminishing tendencies starts with an awareness of our vulnerabilities through coaching, reflection, seeking feedback, challenging assumptions and leading with intention. The author offers a series of practical multiplier experiments to help leaders tackle vulnerabilities such as being the ideas guy, the one always on leader, the rescuer, the pacesetter, the rapid responder, optimist, protector, strategist or perfectionist.
 
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. Multipliers extract and extend the genius of others. The author found that they actually get 2.1 times more out of people than Diminishers!
 
Because people who work with Multipliers hold nothing back. They offer the very best of their thinking, creativity, and ideas. They give more than their jobs require and volunteer their discretionary effort, energy, and resourcefulness. They actively search for more valuable ways to contribute and hold themselves to the highest standards.
 
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.
 
This is a hugely credible and well-researched book, jam-packed with rich case examples of Multiplier and Diminisher Leaders and their impact on individuals and organisations. Each chapter is clearly summarised and the tools and experiments draw you towards application – this is a fantastically motivating, practical and action-orientated book that I will refer back to time and again. As Stephen Covey says in his preface “Don’t just read this book; pay the price to really become a Multiplier”.
 
Wiseman draws on her 17 years’ experience as an exec at Oracle where she served as global leader of HR Development, and more recently leadership consulting to companies such as Apple, Disney, eBay/PayPal, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Nike, Salesforce, and Twitter. The book is based on 2 years of research into the defining characteristics and behaviours that separate great leaders from those who were viewed negatively by their teams, peers, and performance. Just imagine what you could accomplish if you could harness all the energy and intelligence around you. Multipliers will show you how.
 
Multipliers is an excellent book for leaders who want to bring change in their organisation and the whole world. It will be a valuable tool for everyone from first-time managers to world leaders. Corporate executives will immediately see its relevance, but so will leaders in mid-sized businesses, for- and non-profit organisations, startups, and the government.
