Product Description
Are you a genius or a genius maker? We’ve all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders.

The book was somewhat interesting until the authors decided to make the comparison between President Bush and Obama. Their evaluation was so far off that it made reading the rest of the book difficult. They completely lost credibility. Shame on them! I would not recommend this book.

This book provides managers with a well-researched foundation on how their behavior impacts not only the morale but also the performance of their teams. A demanding leadership style, characterized by trust, honesty and consistency leads to much better results than micromanaging tyranny. Not completely surprising, but a great confirmation for those who try to be good people and successful managers at the same time. In addition, Multipliers provides a rich set of examples and helpful techniques to make sure that the diminisher inside all of us doesn’t bring us off track too often. It’s an entertaining read. Not too long and not too brief.

I just finished reading “Multipliers” and have loved the chance not only to identify multipliers and diminishers around me, but to identify my own traits that fall into both categories. The ideas and suggestions in this book can be applied to all aspects of life; its not just for people working at a Fortune 500 company. It is a “must read” for anyone who seeks to better their interactions with colleagues, peers, family members, and everyone else.
