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.

    In light of twelve years of spearheading research, Dr. Brené Brown disperses the social myth that powerlessness is shortcoming and contends that it is, in truth, our most precise measure of valor. Dark colored clarifies how powerlessness is both the center of troublesome feelings like dread, sadness, and dissatisfaction, and the origin of adoration, having a place, satisfaction, sympathy, development, and innovativeness. She expresses: "When we stop ourselves from powerlessness, we remove ourselves from the encounters that convey reason and importance to our lives." Brave Greatly isn't tied in with winning or losing. It's about valor. In reality as we know it where "never enough" overwhelms and feeling anxious has turned out to be second nature, helplessness is subversive. Awkward. It's even somewhat unsafe now and again. What's more, beyond a shadow of a doubt, putting ourselves out there implies there's a far more serious danger of getting censured or feeling hurt. In any case, when we advance back and analyze our lives, we will find that nothing is as awkward, unsafe, and pernicious as remaining outwardly of our lives looking in and pondering what it would resemble on the off chance that we had the valor to venture into the field—regardless of whether it's another relationship, a vital gathering, the imaginative procedure, or a troublesome family discussion. Brave Greatly is a training and an intense new vision for giving ourselves a chance to be seen.
