Multipliers : How the best leaders make Everyone Smarter

BY Liz Wiseman, ‎Greg McKeown

Some people inspire you, while others make you feel paralyzed? In business, “multipliers” pull you up, make you go further, build teams whose performance is sustainable.

This research work explores the characteristics of “multipliers”: they are curious, they exploit talents, they challenge, they explore, they push you forward, they engage teams in a project, they create a climate favourable to the development of the project, of the company and of the teams, and they encourage trial.

“Diminishers are Decision Makers who try to sell their decisions to others. Multipliers are Debate Makers who generate real buy-in.”

We mix hyper-connection with hyper-efficiency. The efficiency of multitasking is (un)fortunately a myth, as our brains are not designed to constantly jump from one element to another. Our intelligence needs a conducive, mono-focused environment to develop. Based on...
