Synopsis: We've all had experience with different types of leaders. The first type drains intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always needs to be the smartest person in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are the leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them. 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. And the world needs more of them, especially now when leaders are expected to do more with less.

Review: If you've followed this blog for any amount of time, then you have surely realized that reading for me is an escape. I'm not one who reads for professional development. However, when my supervisor approached me and two of my colleagues about starting a small book club, we agreed.

We started reading Multipliers one chapter at a time and meeting to discuss each one last December. We just finished it. In addition to discussion, we also took the Multipliers 360 assessment. 

Multipliers gets a highly recommend from me. We had great discussion, the assessment and results were helpful, and I learned a lot.

We are all set to choose our next book.
