W.I.N. Newsletter Special - Book Recommendation and Thank You
Published: Sat, 10/09/10
sure you take time today to reflect on What's Important Now.
This week's book recommendation is Multipliers: How the Best
Leaders Make Everyone Smarter by Liz Wiseman and Greg McKeown.
Here is what David Siegfried from Booklist had to say about
Multipliers:
"Why do some genius-level leaders seem to drain intelligence and
performance out of the people around them, while others stimulate,
motivate, and get so much more out of their work associates?
Wiseman labels the former group, people who need to be the smartest
person in the room, as diminishers, while the latter are
multipliers, people who use their smarts to stimulate and enhance
the creativity of the group. Both authors are connected with the
Wiseman Group, a leadership research center that advises senior
executives and provides workshops and leadership assessments around
the world. By analyzing 150 executives across America, Europe,
Asia, and Africa, the authors have identified what they consider
the five most important disciplines that help managers to think and
act more like multipliers, bringing people together, and giving
others on the team more freedom, power, and responsibility, which
ultimately generates self-worth and satisfaction. The book is a
well-organized sytem that could be used as a personal tool or as a
workbook for team-development seminars."
I also want to thank those of you that supported Jesse and Cody in
The Run for the Cure. Between the two of them they raised $2250.00
and their team raise over $3000.00 for a great cause. Thank you as
well to those of you that sponsored others or raised money yourself
for this worthwhile cause.
Take care.
