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 business leadership 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 boosting employee engagement 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 development 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 management 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 on talent management 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.

around you. Multipliers will show you how. Inside this revised and updated edition you'll
