Des Moines Public Library business book pick: “Multipliers, Revised and Updated: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter” by Liz Wiseman

Why you should read it: This revised and updated edition of the bestseller explores why some leaders drain capability from their teams, while others amplify it and lead to better results for their organization or business. The book explores the differences between these two types of leadership style, and shows how the latter kind – the “multipliers” – have a positive and profitable effect on an organization. They attract, develop and retain talent – and bring new ideas and energy to the table.
