Multipliers:How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter

We’ve all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders.  The first type of leaders drains intelligence and energy from the people around them and always need to be the smartest ones in the room.  These are the idea killers and energy sappers.

On the other side of the spectrum are the leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the knowledge and the skills of the people around them.  These leaders inspire employees to stretch themselves to deliver results that surpass expectations.  These are the Multipliers, and the world needs more of them.

In our summary of Multipliers:  How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, by Liz Wiseman with Greg McKeown, we’ll explore these two leadership styles and show how you can become a Multiplier.

Wiseman is the president of The Wiseman Group, a leadership research and development center headquartered in Silicon Valley.  A former executive at Oracle Corporation, she served as the vice president of Oracle University and as the global leader for human resource development.  McKeown is a partner at The Wiseman Group, where he leads the workshop and assessment practice.

This summary will give you the tools you need to get more done with fewer resources, develop and attract talent, and cultivate new ideas and energy to drive organizational change and innovation.
