Whether they are in the spotlight or working diligently behind the scenes, these Impact Players are recognised by managers for their immense value. The key question is: what actually sets these outstanding professionals apart from their peers?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eImpact Players\u003c\/em\u003e, New York Times bestselling author and researcher Liz Wiseman reveals the secrets behind these extraordinary individuals who operate on a different plane. Drawing on insights from leaders at top companies, Wiseman demystifies the behaviours and mindsets that differentiate the most influential players from the rest. She explains how seemingly minor differences in thinking and acting can have a monumental impact, and emphasises that—with a bit of coaching—this high-performance mindset can be cultivated by anyone wishing to contribute at their highest level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is based on a comprehensive study of 170 top contributors across various industries.

This revised and expanded edition of the acclaimed \u003cem\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller offers new perspectives, examples, and strategies for transforming from a diminisher to a multiplier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough compelling storytelling and well-researched data, Wiseman contrasts two distinct types of leaders. The first type—the Diminishers—drain the intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them. These leaders often strive to be the smartest person in the room, inadvertently stifling innovation and engagement. They are the idea killers and talent sappers who, despite their best intentions, limit the potential of their teams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the opposite end of the spectrum are the Multipliers. These leaders use their intelligence to unlock and amplify the smarts and capabilities of those around them. When a Multiplier walks into a room, they create an environment where ideas flourish and complex problems are solved efficiently. Such leaders inspire their teams to exceed expectations and drive remarkable results, often with fewer resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWiseman's engaging and highly practical book elucidates how Multipliers achieve these outcomes. Drawing from an extensive study of over 150 leaders, she identifies five key disciplines that distinguish Multipliers from Diminishers. These disciplines are not inborn traits but are skills and practices that anyone can adopt. The book is enriched with lively, real-world case studies and actionable tips that bring these principles to life, making it a valuable resource for both new and experienced managers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince its initial publication, \u003cem\u003eMultipliers\u003c\/em\u003e has become a revered classic in leadership literature. This updated edition includes fresh examples of Multipliers in action and introduces two new chapters. One focuses on accidental Diminishers, offering insights into how even well-meaning leaders can unknowingly diminish their teams. The other chapter provides strategies for dealing with Diminishers, empowering readers with practical tools to handle such challenges effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are striving to lead a small team or an entire organisation, \u003cem\u003eMultipliers\u003c\/em\u003e provides a roadmap for maximising the intelligence and potential inherent in your workforce. Imagine what you could achieve if you harnessed all the energy and intellect around you. Liz Wiseman shows you how in this transformative book, making it an essential read for anyone committed to leadership excellence and organisational success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45686222586092,"sku":"9780062699176","price":28.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780062699176.jpg?v=1725464211"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/liz-wiseman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
