A revised and updated edition of the acclaimed Wall Street Journal bestseller that explores why some leaders drain capability and intelligence from their teams while others amplify it to produce better business leadership results. We’ve all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drains intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always needs to be the smartest person 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, light bulbs go off over people’s heads; ideas flow and problems get solved. These are the leaders who inspire employees to stretch themselves, boosting employee engagement 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 development expert Liz Wiseman explores 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 has 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 management 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. This revered classic on talent management has been updated with new examples of Multipliers, as well as two new chapters one on accidental Diminishers, and one on how to deal with Diminishers. Just imagine what you could accomplish if you could harness all the energy and intelligence around you. Multipliers will show you how. Inside this revised and updated edition, you’ll discover the framework to amplify your team’s intelligence: Team Leadership Styles: Learn to identify the key differences between “Diminishers” who drain intelligence and “Multipliers” who amplify it to get exponentially better results. The Five Disciplines: Master the five practical, learnable skills—from attracting talent to instilling accountability—that all Multipliers use to make their teams smarter and more capable. Boosting Team Productivity: Uncover strategies to do more with less, cultivate energy and innovation, and drive organizational change by harnessing the full intelligence of your people. The Accidental Diminisher: Explore all-new chapters that reveal how even well-intentioned managers can accidentally stifle their teams and learn practical ways to deal with Diminishers.

Thinkers50 Top 10 Best New Management Books for 2022 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.

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.

──《影響力習慣》作者莉茲．懷斯曼經典著作── 《與成功有約》作者史帝芬．柯維專文推薦： 「我相信這本書跟每個人都有關係，無論是初任主管的人或是世界領袖。」 為什麼有些領導人能創造人才， 有些人卻會摧毀人才？ 拋掉減法思維，培養乘數思維， 用更少的資源達成更多成果。 當你引導出部屬最好的一面， 也會看見自己最好的一面。 ★《致勝心態》作者卡蘿．杜維克盛讚：「這本書將永遠改變我們對領導的看法。」 ★「領導學之父」華倫．班尼斯力薦：「領導者如何激發我們天性中更美好的一面？本書比任何書都更能回答這個基本的領導力問題。」 ＊你不必是個天才，但你可以成為天才製造者。 我們都曾接觸過兩種截然不同的領導者，第一種「減數者」是點子的殺手，會從周圍的人身上奪取智慧與精力。另一種「乘數者」領導人則是會放大身邊人的聰明和能力，與他們共事時，大家頭上會亮起燈泡，問題迎刃而解。 如今，當領導人被期望用更少資源做更多事情時，我們迫切需要更多乘數者。本書深入探討兩種領導風格，並展示乘數者的重要影響力──善用既有資源、吸引與優化人才、培養全新思維和技能，以及推動組織變革與創新。 ＊掌握5大原則，成為點石成金的乘數者 ◆人才磁鐵：人們明白自己將能獲得充分發揮與發展，因此搶著替乘數者做事。 ◆解放者：營造動機十足的環境，給予安全空間，施加正向壓力，讓人們投入才智與努力。 ◆挑戰者：乘數者會播種機會，列出延展型挑戰，激發人們的信念與熱情。 ◆辯論製造者：設定議題框架，激起辯論的火花，最終透過嚴謹辯論來推動健全決策。 ◆投資者：提供人們必需的資源及所有權，使其即便沒有領導者也能締造佳績。領導人是協助他人領導的人。 現今太多組織仍是過度管理、低度領導。在企業資源稀缺之際，能夠使人們才智與能力倍增的領導人將越來越搶手。本書是寫給每個想在景氣艱難時代度過資源緊絀的經理人，也是寫給熱血的乘數者：當你引導出別人最好的一面，你亦將看見自己最好的一面。 ＊知名跨國企業經理人都在用的乘數領導法 ．Nike全球設計長約翰．霍克設定探索的空間，創造允許犯錯、快速學習的良好循環。 ．Apple執行長提姆．庫克在凍結人事之下實現成長，利用既有資源使成長飆升。 ．寶僑公司執行長雷富禮重新架構新產品研發，帶動營收成長，成功振興公司。 ．麥肯錫公司韓國合夥人崔宰讓部屬共享成果，投資他們的未來發展，確保團隊獨立運作。 ．德國赫素藥廠沒有組織圖，執行長史特容曼採取「阿米巴模式」，發掘及吸引合適人才。 ＊部屬對於乘數型領導人的高度評價 ．「跟她一起工作就像是一項高強度運動。很累人，但很帶勁。」 ．「他必定承受來自更高層的壓力，但他沒有製造焦慮給我們。他從不驚慌失措。」 ．「他對問題強硬，但對人溫和。當你犯錯，他會先幫你解決，而不是鞭笞你。」 現今企業用的是「加法」，認為必須投入更多資源，才能提高成長，但作者懷斯曼認為，善用既有資源便能提高成長，即「乘法」領導──只要更有效率地汲取人員的能力，讓組織擁有的資源力量倍增，便能看到成長飆升。 領導力專家懷斯曼分析了150位領導者的數據，透過深入的案例、實際的技巧和方法，無論是新手主管或是身經百戰的高階經理人，皆能學會汲取組織中所有的能量和智慧，帶領眾人取得莫大的成就。 各界一致推薦 王繁捷｜貝克街蛋糕創辦人、暢銷作家 江湖人稱S姐｜女力學院創辦人 周品均｜唯品風尚集團執行長 盛治仁｜雲朗觀光集團總經理 張敏敏｜JW智緯管理顧問公司總經理 陳慧蓉｜台灣微軟首席營運長暨客戶成功事業群總經理 黃齊元｜「藍濤亞洲」總裁、「東南亞影響力聯盟」發起人 愛瑞克｜《內在原力》系列作者、TMBA共同創辦人 劉宥彤｜台灣國家新創品牌計畫 Startup island Taiwan 計劃主持人 （以上依姓名筆畫順序排列）

Kita semua memiliki pengalaman dengan dua tipe pemimpin yang sangat berbeda. Tipe pertama adalah pemimpin yang menguras kecerdasan, energi, dan kemampuan dari orang-orang di sekitarnya, membunuh ide, dan selalu perlu menjadi orang terpintar. Mereka adalah Diminishers. Di sisi lain terdapat para pemimpin yang menggunakan kecerdasan mereka untuk memperkuat kecerdasan dan kemampuan orang-orang di sekitarnya. Ketika para pemimpin tipe kedua ini ada, ‘bola lampu’ menyala di atas kepala; ide mengalir dan masalah terpecahkan. Mereka adalah para pemimpin yang menginspirasi karyawan untuk memberikan hasil yang melampaui harapan. Mereka adalah Multipliers. Dan dunia membutuhkan lebih banyak dari mereka, terutama sekarang ketika para pemimpin diharapkan untuk berbuat lebih banyak dengan cara yang lebih sedikit. Dalam buku yang menarik dan sangat praktis ini, pakar kepemimpinan Liz Wiseman mengeksplorasi dua gaya kepemimpinan ini, secara persuasif menunjukkan bagaimana Multipliers dapat memiliki efek yang sangat positif dan menguntungkan bagi organisasi—menyelesaikan lebih banyak dengan sumber daya yang lebih sedikit, mengembangkan dan menarik bakat, dan menumbuhkan ide-ide baru dan energi untuk mendorong perubahan dan inovasi organisasi. Dalam analisisnya, Wiseman telah mengidentifikasi lima disiplin ilmu yang membedakan Multipliers dari Diminishers. Kelima disiplin ini tidak didasarkan pada bakat bawaan, namun dapat dipelajari oleh setiap orang—bahkan untuk orang dengan sikap Diminishers yang kuat. Studi kasus yang nyata serta kiat dan teknik praktis menghidupkan setiap prinsip ini, menunjukkan kepada Anda bagaimana untuk menjadi pemimpin tipe Multipliers, baik Anda seorang manajer baru atau berpengalaman. Bayangkan saja apa yang dapat Anda capai jika Anda dapat memanfaatkan semua energi dan kecerdasan di sekitar Anda. Multipliers akan menunjukkan caranya.
