Publisher Description

Wall Street Journal Bestseller

A thought-provoking, accessible, and essential exploration of why some leaders (“Diminishers”) drain capability and intelligence from their teams, while others (“Multipliers”) amplify it to produce better results. Including a foreword by Stephen R. Covey, as well the five key disciplines that turn smart leaders into genius makers, Multipliers is a must-read for everyone from first-time managers to world leaders.

"Very interesting insight into how leaders operate, introducing the concept of multipliers (leaders who grow their people) and diminishes (know it all leaders who don't develop talent). I don't think anyone is 100% one or the other, but this book can help understand and correct some behaviors. "

— Danny (4 out of 5 stars)

    " Some good information could be dug out of this book, but I found the format quite unpleasant. It's filled with self-important charts and filled with Unnecessarily Capitalized Lingo. Using personal experience to demonstrate a point is a good trick, but it would be nice if there was more than a sentence or two of the point itself between all the stories. And frankly, many of the "Diminishers" seemed like flat-out assholes--not sure why you need a whole book to say, "Don't be an asshole." "

    " I give up. I actually enjoyed most of what I read, but I just can't seem to focus on work-related books as part of my free time. I also think it could be much shorter. If you're into this sort of read, it's well researched and fairly well written. I'd recommend it. It's just not my thing. "
