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.

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 te enseñará a hacerlo.

Den anmelderroste Wall Street Journal-bestseller ”Multipliers: How The Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter” af ledelsestænker Liz Wiseman oversættes nu til dansk fra den opdaterede engelske udgave fra Harper Collins.Bogen undersøger, hvad der kendetegner de ledere, som formår at bringe det bedste frem i medarbejderne og giver dem mod på at vokse med opgaverne – mens andre ledere påvirker medarbejderne i negativ og ofte utilsigtet retning.Liz Wiseman kalder disse gode ledere for ”multipliers”, fordi deres ledelsesstil mangedobler medarbejdernes engagement og den værdi, de skaber for organisationen.I stedet for selv at være teamets eller organisationens orakel lykkes multipliers med at udfordre, anerkende og give medarbejderne plads og ansvar, så de bringer deres viden og kompetencer i spil og bogstaveligt talt bliver klogere udgaver af sig selv.Liz Wiseman modtag i 2019 organisationen Thinkers50’s Leadership Award for bogen, der er særdeles praksisnær og en pædagogisk guide for alle, der ønsker at udvikle sig som ledere.Bogen udstyrer læseren med nyttige redskaber og illustrationer, der kan bruges af ledere både individuelt og i samspil i for eksempel ledergrupper.Med forord af ledelsesrådgiver Christian Ørsted.

The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people 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.

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 to deliver results that surpass expectations. These are the Multipliers.

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. This revered classic has been updated with new examples of Multipliers as well as two new chapters on accidental Diminishers and how to deal with Diminishers.Just imagine what you could accomplish if you could harness all the energy and intelligence surrounding you.
