Are you a genius or a genius maker? We've all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the ones around them and always need to be the smartest ones 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, lightbulbs go off over people's heads, ideas flow, and problems get solved. These are the leaders who inspire employees to stretch themselves 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 expert Liz Wiseman and management consultant Greg McKeown explore 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 and McKeown have 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 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. Just imagine what you could accomplish if you could harness all the energy and intelligence around you. Multipliers will show you how.

How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter

Multipliers

Why do some people break through and make an impact while others get stuck going through the motions? In every organization there are Impact Players—those indispensable colleagues who can be counted on in critical situations and who consistently receive high-profile assignments and new opportunities. Whether they are on center stage or behind the scenes, managers know who these top players are, understand their worth, and want more of them on their team. While their impact is obvious, it’s not always clear what actually makes these professionals different from their peers. In Impact Players, New York Times bestselling author and researcher Liz Wiseman reveals the secrets of these stellar professionals who play the game at a higher level. Drawing on insights from leaders at top companies, Wiseman explains what the most influential players are doing differently, how small and seemingly insignificant differences in how we think and act can make an enormous impact, and why—with a little coaching—this mindset is available to everyone who wants to contribute at their highest level. Based on a study of 170 top contributors, Wiseman identifies the mindsets that prevent otherwise smart, capable people from contributing to their full potential and the five practices that differentiate Impact Players: While others do their job, Impact Players figure out the real job to be done. While others wait for direction, Impact Players step up and lead. While others escalate problems, Impact Players move things across the finish line. While others attempt to minimize change, Impact Players are learning and adapting to change. While others add to the load, the Impact Players make heavy demands feel lighter. Wiseman makes clear that these practices—and the right mindset—can help any employee contribute at their fullest and shows leaders how they can raise the level of play for everyone on the team. Impact Players is your playbook for the new workplace.

Wall Street Journal Bestseller Is it possible to be at your best even when you are underqualified or doing something for the first time? Is it still possible, even after decades of experience, to recapture the enthusiasm, curiosity, and fearlessness of youth to take on new challenges? With the right mindset—with Rookie Smarts—you can. In a rapidly changing world, experience can be a curse. Careers stall, innovation stops, and strategies grow stale. Being new, naïve, and even clueless can be an asset. For today’s knowledge workers, constant learning is more valuable than mastery. In this essential guide, leadership expert Liz Wiseman explains how to reclaim and cultivate this curious, flexible, youthful mindset called Rookie Smarts. She argues that the most successful rookies are hunter-gatherers—alert and seeking, cautious but quick like firewalkers, and hungry and relentless like pioneers. Most importantly, she identifies a breed of leaders she refers to as “perpetual rookies.” Despite years of experience, they retain their rookie smarts, thinking and operating with the mindsets and practices of these high-performing rookies. Rookie Smarts addresses the questions every experienced professional faces: “Will my knowledge and skills become obsolete and irrelevant? Will a young, inexperienced newcomer upend my company or me? How can I keep up?” The answer is to stay fresh, keep learning, and know when to think like a rookie. Rookie Smarts isn’t just for professionals seeking personal renewal; it is an indispensible resource for all leaders who must ensure their workforces remains vital and competitive.

Les Multiplicateurs

Greg Mckeown

A través de una investigación realizada en varios países, culturas e industrias distintas, Liz Wiseman y Greg McKeown identificaron cinco comportamientos que distinguen a los líderes que logran desarrollar la inteligencia y el potencial de las personas, multiplicándolos dentro de sus organizaciones para maximizar el uso de los recursos existentes. Todos hemos conocido a dos tipos de líderes completamente distintos. Los del primer tipo drenan la inteligencia, la energía y las capacidades de quienes los rodean, y necesitan ser siempre los más inteligentes: se trata de líderes reductores. Masacran las ideas, taladran la energía y disminuyen el talento y el compromiso de los demás. Del otro lado del espectro están los líderes que usan su inteligencia para ampliar el intelecto y las capacidades de la gente a su alrededor. Cuando entran a una habitación se encienden focos sobre las cabezas de los presentes, las ideas fluyen y se resuelven los problemas. Son ellos quienes inspiran a los empleados a dar más de sí mismos para entregar resultados que superen las expectativas. Los llamamos multiplicadores. El mundo necesita más líderes de este tipo, sobre todo ahora, cuando se espera que quien está al mando logre más con menos recursos. En este fascinante y práctico libro, Wiseman y McKeown han identificado las cinco disciplinas que distinguen a los multiplicadores de los reductores. Éstas no se basan en el talento innato, sino que son habilidades y prácticas que todos podemos aprender a usar, incluso los reductores más veteranos y recalcitrantes. Asimismo, los autores dan vida a cada una de estas disciplinas a través de estudios de caso reales y vívidos, así como consejos prácticos y técnicas para mostrarte cómo puedes convertirte en un multiplicador, ya seas nuevo en el negocio o un jefe con mucha experiencia. Imagina lo que lograrías si pudieras utilizar toda la energía y la inteligencia que te rodea. Multiplicadores teenseñará a hacerlo.
