Multipliers and Diminishers

The drills we do, where you're telling kids to memorize things, don't actually work. What works is engaging them and letting them do things and discover things.

"Some people stifle their employees — and some make them shine." In his Harvard Business Review (hbr.org) article, "Bringing Out the Best in Your People," Greg McKeown described types of leaders who are diminishers (who stifle their employees) and those who are multipliers (make them shine)...

Diminishers

The Tyrant — Creates a tense environment that suppresses people's thinking and capabilities.
The Decision Maker — Makes centralized, abrupt decisions that confuse the organization.
The Micro-manager — Drives results through his or her personal involvement.

Multipliers

The Challenger — Defines an opportunity that causes people to stretch their thinking and behaviors.
The Debate Maker — Drives sound decisions by cultivating rigorous debate among team members.
The Investor — Gives other people ownership of results and invests in their success.
