  “I couldn’t put down Multipliers on the plane ride home. I highly recommend it for all especially those aspiring to or actually occupying significant leadership positions. A word of caution, this book may be unsettling if you are honest with yourself. Read it with an open mind and allow it to help you reflect on what kind of leader you have been. Should you find like many of us, that you are an accidental Diminisher, follow its rather simple and insightful steps toward becoming a Multiplier and unleashing the genius in others. Many of its tenants are universally applicable even to our highly hierarchical, leader-centric organization.”

  Patrick Count, Commander, U.S. Navy

  “The authors succeed brilliantly in addressing a critical but unexplored phenomenon—how leaders unleash the intelligence and capability in others. This practical framework is a must-read for all those who aspire to lead in the knowledge economy.”

  “The evaluations of our conference earlier in the month have been coming in to the VisionServe office, and Roxann Mayros, our CEO, tells me that every aspect of the conference exceeded attendee’s expectations. It appears to be the best conference ever, in fact. Rob did a terrific job, and everyone was so caught up in the concept of Multiplier/Diminisher – they’ll be thinking about that for quite a while.”

  “CCI has been fortunate to work with Liz in the design and delivery of many strategic initiatives. Her subtle but deliberate method of building leadership development into the work of solving complex business challenges has stimulated a new level of thinking and understanding among our board and staff team. Through our work with her we have come to understand that leadership excellence is not achieved through the passive participation in traditional learning activities, but instead it is the critical by-product of doing meaningful and difficult work. “And even better – doing hard work has never been so much fun! It is a treat to enhance our abilities and strengthen our organization in partnership with someone we respect and enjoy so much.”

  Shannon Carter CEO, CCI

  “Liz’s experience, perspective, and energy was the catalyst for our strategic planning process. She drew out each person’s perspective and channeled the team’s effort to create a coherent, compelling mission statement and identity for our organization. We couldn’t have done it without her!”
