Multipliers

How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter

Book • 2010

In 'Multipliers,' Liz Wiseman explores the differences between two types of leaders: Multipliers and Diminishers.

Multipliers are leaders who bring out the best in their teams, amplifying their intelligence and capabilities, while Diminishers are those who stifle their teams' potential.

The book outlines five disciplines of Multipliers: Talent Magnet, Liberator, Challenger, Debate Maker, and Investor.

These disciplines help leaders create an environment where team members feel valued, inspired, and empowered to contribute their best.

Wiseman's research shows that Multipliers get twice as much from their people compared to Diminishers, who often leave their teams underutilized and demotivated.
