Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter

By Liz Wiseman

"I am a fan of the book Multipliers – just remembering the idea that we can either multiply the strengths of others or diminish them is powerful." - Lyn

In analyzing data from more than 150 leaders, Wiseman has identified five disciplines that distinguish Multipliers from Diminishers. These five disciplines are not based on innate talent; indeed, they are skills and practices that everyone can learn to use—even lifelong and recalcitrant Diminishers. 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 one on accidental Diminishers, and one on how to deal with Diminishers.



Just imagine what you could accomplish if you could harness all the energy and intelligence around you. Multipliers will show you how.

Romney: A Reckoning

By McKay Coppins

Interesting read. Vulnerability is not something that politicians generally wear on their sleeves, or in their hearts.

Romney’s book bucks that trend. It showcases a very smart man who has at times been the poster boy for standing up for what’s right.

At other times he seems to have made decisions that were best for him as opposed to best for the Country.

In preparing to write the book, McKay had over 40 one-on-one meetings over a two-year span with Romney. Through his research, the book covers a broad swath of Romney’s service-filled life ranging from family, business, politics, and power.

Most people take pause in their later years and are introspective related to the Why. It’s not as much about what they did and didn’t do but they deeply consider the motivations behind their actions. That’s what made this book an important read for those interested in history, leadership, as well as motivations around decision-making.
