Are you a genius or a genius maker? Leaders can be dramatically different in their impact on those around them. Some drain intelligence, energy, and capability, always needing to be the smartest in the room. These diminishers kill ideas and sap energy. In contrast, there are leaders who amplify the intelligence and capabilities of others. When they enter a room, creativity sparks, ideas flow, and problems get solved. These inspiring leaders, known as Multipliers, motivate employees to exceed expectations. The need for such leaders is critical, especially as organizations strive to achieve more with fewer resources. This engaging and practical book by leadership expert Liz Wiseman and management consultant Greg McKeown delves into the two leadership styles, illustrating how Multipliers can positively impact organizations by enhancing productivity, attracting talent, and fostering innovation. Through analysis of data from over 150 leaders, they identify five disciplines that set Multipliers apart from Diminishers. These disciplines are skills anyone can learn, including those who have always been Diminishers. With lively case studies and practical techniques, the book demonstrates how to become a Multiplier, unlocking the potential of the energy and intelligence around you.

Have you ever found yourself struggling with information overload? Have you ever felt both overworked and underutilised? Do you ever feel busy but not productive? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is to become an Essentialist. In Essentialism, Greg McKeown, CEO of a Leadership and Strategy agency in Silicon Valley who has run courses at Apple, Google and Facebook, shows you how to achieve what he calls the disciplined pursuit of less. Being an Essentialist is about a disciplined way of thinking. It means challenging the core assumption of âe~We can have it allâe(tm) and âe~I have to do everythingâe(tm) and replacing it with the pursuit of âe~the right thing, in the right way, at the right time'. By applying a more selective criteria for what is essential, the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter. Using the experience and insight of working with the leaders of the most innovative companies and organisations in the world, McKeown shows you how to put Essentialism into practice in your own life, so you too can achieve something great.

The intricacy of modern life has created a false dichotomy between things that are 'hard and important,' and those that are 'easy and trivial.' Everything has become so much harder than it ought to be. But, Greg McKeown says there is a third alternative. In Effortless , he offers practical strategies for making the most vital tasks the easiest ones. Honed over the better part of a decade, these strategies include- Asking 'What Step Can I Remove?' (accomplish more, in fewer steps) ; Having the Courage to Be Rubbish (prioritize progress over perfection) ; Deciding What 'Done' Looks Like (don't keep running after you pass the finish line). McKeown's philosophy of essentialism has helped thousands to eliminate nonessential activities and focus on the few that really matter. Working out what is essential is the first step - making these tasks effortless is the next. Effortless will show you how.
