Multipliers, Revised and Updated: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smart

I loved this book. I learned too many things that I did not consider before. I totally recommend it for everyone. If you would like to be a great leader, then read the book!

'Multipliers' is a book that looks at the leadership role in a newly articulated way. A "multiplier" is the type of person and leader that makes people around them better performers. On the other hand, you have "diminishes" whom may be very intelligent and qualified, plus diligent, but they diminish the capabilities of those they work with. The landscape of leadership has changed according to the author. A great leader is no longer the genius at the top, but rather those around them that they raise to genius level acuity and propel to work their best. I think there's truth to this, and as I grow my companies I'm working on I will take that approach to heart. Intuitively, it resonates with me as I do not feel that my personal will and intelligence are good enough to thrust a great organization forward, but rather I have to inspire those I will work with in the future. A good example is my favorite current NBA basketball player, Lebron James. What makes Lebron great is not only his individual skill and talent, but also his ability to raise the level of performance of his teammates and his organization. He doesn't inspire by fear and he doesn't scold and scare other players into performing better, but rather he inspires by his own efforts and confidence in his teammates.All of that being said, I give this book a 3-star rating because as it was an interesting read, with many interesting case studies, it dragged on much too long and got too deeply involved with vague examples of the author's workings with many companies. While I believe in the multiplier effect, I don't know if every example in the book was pertinent. I believe it may have just been too long of a book. It's filled with lists, jargon, steps, etc. I read from cover to back, but on this one, you may reconsider that. I had to skip a few pages that I had not had the patience for. I still read around 95%+ of the book, so no worries, I didn't skim! But I certainly could have and gotten the point that way. Although I've rated it 3-stars, it certainly isn't a bad book and I have many highlights in it that I will surely refer to in the future when running my own organization.

Nice quality of paper and print.

Very useful book, one of the best I read the last year

Adorei a qualidade do livro, porém, fiquei frustrado porque a capa amarela é apenas uma folha que envolve a capa dura que se resume a uma capa azul. Contudo, a qualidade do material é excelente e valeu cada centavo.
