Recently, I’ve been enjoying and struggling with the joys and challenges of running my own business. This is not simply being self-employed, but leading and empowering a group of employees as well… or at least trying to. Though I do often hear good feedback from them, I feel that I am not taking the step up to real, powerful, inspirational leadership.

Last night I stumbled back across a photo a friend had posted some time ago on social media. It was a snapshot of a table describing both “diminishers” and “multipliers”. It wasn’t just inspiring to me (again), but actually alarming. As I look at the list on both sides I could honestly see myself doing things not just in the multipliers category, but potentially in the diminishers category too. I felt called out.

This means it’s time to learn. And that’s when I noticed the photo my friend had posted was a snapshot of a page in a book. I quickly asked them what book it was and here we are.

Have you read Multipliers by Liz Wiseman? If not, what books would you recommend on leadership and productivity? If you did read it, what did you think of it?
