Book Recommendation: Multipliers by Liz Wiseman

"Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter" by Liz Wiseman is a thought-provoking exploration of leadership styles and their impact on teams and organizations. This book delves into two archetypes of leaders, Diminishers and Multipliers, and emphasizes their significant influence on their teams.

Diminishers are leaders who often unintentionally stifle the growth and intelligence of their team members. They are the micromanagers, the know-it-alls, the decision-makers who seldom consult their team, and those who create a culture of dependency. Their leadership style can create environments where creativity is suffocated and innovation is scarce. People under Diminishers often feel undervalued and underutilized; consequently, their productivity and motivation decline.
