Publisher Summary: Based on the 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’ capabilities 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.
Key Takeaways from Multipliers by Liz Wiseman
- A leader needs two or three strong disciplines to be considered a Multiplier, and the other disciplines can be just good enough.
- How smart you are is defined by how clearly you can see the intellect of others.
- Uncover the native genius of others (something they do, not only exceptionally well, but absolutely naturally).
- Give people feedback as guidance, not an order.
