Andres Kindred Jeff Lerner Reviews
Meet Andres Kindred. Before ENTRE, he was working in a restaurant, which he didn't truly enjoy. He said ENTRE coaching has literally turned his life around. It's not only about the technical skills he has learned about affiliate marketing, but also about having a coach to push him to become a better person. Right now, he's already attracted 700 subscribers on his YouTube channel, and he's confident that he'll hit 1000 subscribers very soon. He's excited about what's coming next, because after all, he's just started his journey with ENTRE.
Today's guest on the Millionaire Secrets podcast is Grant Cardone.
Grant Cardone is the world's #1 sales trainer, renowned speaker, international social media influencer, real estate mogul, and bestselling author.
He believes everyone has the ability to 10x their life, business, and income.
On season 2 of Discovery Channel's "Undercover Billionaire," he puts this to the ultimate test.
Grant gets stripped of his billion-dollar bank account, business connections, and even his name, and is set the challenge of creating a $10 million business in 90 days in Pueblo, Colorado.
It's fair to say that Grant is accustomed to building a business empire from scratch.
Before he found his billion-dollar success, he was deep in debt and struggling with addiction.
But this time around, Grant had a full armory of everything he'd learned in business to lean on and accelerate his success.
My conversation with Grant was as fascinating as the "Undercover Billionaire" concept.
It asks questions most of us don't want to ever think about:
What if we woke up tomorrow with nothing?
Could we replicate our success?
Do we need money to make money?
What skills do we have that are more valuable than money?
One of the things Grant admitted in the interview was how ruthless he had to be in pursuit of his $10 million in 90 days goal.
He adopted a total "whatever it takes mindset" and is a true testament to the hunger you need to achieve something when every single odd is stacked against you.
As for the biggest asset he leveraged during the challenge?
That's an eye-opener to us ALL.
Mainly because it's something we all have the ability to master, and it doesn't cost anything to do it.
Just like this interview, the entire show is set to be an entrepreneurial education of the highest, most insightful, actionable level.
It's on every Wednesday at 8 PM EST on the Discovery Channel.
One episode has already aired, but Grant shares how and where you can catch up on it in our interview.

Multipliers, Revised and Updated: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter
Audible Audiobook – Unabridged
Liz Wiseman (Author, Narrator), John Meagher (Narrator), Stephen Covey - foreword (Author), HarperAudio (Publisher)
4.6 out of 5 stars
A new and improved edition of the well-known Wall Street Journal bestseller that explores the reasons how some leaders drain capability and team intelligence as others amplify it so that they achieve greater results.
We've all experienced two very different kinds of leaders. The first kind of leaders drain energy, intelligence and capabilities from those around them , and they always have to be the smartest person around. They are the idea killers and people who drain energy, and the detractors of commitment and talent. On the other hand on the other hand are those who utilize their knowledge to enhance the skills and abilities of those who surround them. When these leaders enter an area, lights flash across the heads of their colleagues as ideas flow and problems are resolved. They are the ones who encourage employees to stretch themselves to achieve results that are beyond expectations. These are the Multipliers. They are needed in the world. of them - particularly now as leaders are required to accomplish more in less time.
In this captivating and practical book, the leader expert Liz Wiseman explores these two types of leadership, convincingly demonstrating that Multipliers can have an enormously profitable and positive impact on companies and can achieve more work using less resources, attracting the talent pool, creating new ideas and enthusiasm to inspire changes and innovations in the organization.
Through analyzing the data of more than 150 of the top executives, Wiseman has identified five disciplines that differentiate those who are Multipliers from the diminishers. These five areas of study are not built on natural talent, in fact they are techniques and skills that anyone is able to master even the most stubborn and lifelong Diminishers. Real-world examples as well as practical techniques and tips help you understand the five principles in a way that will help you become a Multiplier regardless of whether you're an experienced or a novice manager. The bestselling classic is updated with fresh examples of Multipliers, as well with two chapters added - one on the possibility of Diminishers being unintentionally discarded and one about how to handle Diminishers.
Imagine the things you could do If you could harness all the energy and knowledge all around you. Multipliers will demonstrate how.
Please note that when you purchase this book the accompanying documentation will be available within the My Library section along with the audio.
Interesting Read but Laborious
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2021
'Multipliers' is a book that looks at the leadership role in a newly articulated way. A "multiplier" is the type of person and leader that makes people around them better performers. On the other hand, you have "diminishes" whom may be very intelligent and qualified, plus diligent, but they diminish the capabilities of those they work with. The landscape of leadership has changed according to the author. A great leader is no longer the genius at the top, but rather those around them that they raise to genius level acuity and propel to work their best. I think there's truth to this, and as I grow my companies I'm working on I will take that approach to heart. Intuitively, it resonates with me as I do not feel that my personal will and intelligence are good enough to thrust a great organization forward, but rather I have to inspire those I will work with in the future. A good example is my favorite current NBA basketball player, Lebron James. What makes Lebron great is not only his individual skill and talent, but also his ability to raise the level of performance of his teammates and his organization. He doesn't inspire by fear and he doesn't scold and scare other players into performing better, but rather he inspires by his own efforts and confidence in his teammates.
All of that being said, I give this book a 3-star rating because as it was an interesting read, with many interesting case studies, it dragged on much too long and got too deeply involved with vague examples of the author's workings with many companies. While I believe in the multiplier effect, I don't know if every example in the book was pertinent. I believe it may have just been too long of a book. It's filled with lists, jargon, steps, etc. I read from cover to back, but on this one, you may reconsider that. I had to skip a few pages that I had not had the patience for. I still read around 95%+ of the book, so no worries, I didn't skim! But I certainly could have and gotten the point that way. Although I've rated it 3-stars, it certainly isn't a bad book and I have many highlights in it that I will surely refer to in the future when running my own organization.

Great leadership book to improve your leadership view and style!
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2016
I wanted to take a moment to share a great leadership book I read through in 2015 that continues to shape and challenge the way I lead others. Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter
Leadership
Much of what constitutes good leadership can be summarized in two words: respect and selflessness.
How we relate to those two words will determine how we lead. Consider two assumptions that lie at the opposite ends of the spectrum:
• Really intelligent people are a rare breed and I am one of the few really smart people. People will never be able to figure things out without me. I need to have all the answers.
• Smart people are everywhere and will figure things out and get even smarter in the process. My job is to ask the right questions.
What you believe has a big impact on the performance, engagement, loyalty and the transparency you find with those you lead and interact with. In Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, authors Liz Wiseman and Greg McKeown refer to those with the mindset represented by the first assumption as Diminshers and those with the mindset represented by the second assumption as Multipliers. It explains why some leaders create intelligence around them, while others diminish it.
The value of Multipliers is that is shows what these assumptions about people look like in practice and how they are reflected in your behavior. How would you approach your job differently if you believed that people are smart and can figure it out? With a Multiplier mindset, people will surprise you. They will give more. You will learn more. What kind of solutions could we generate if you could access the underutilized brainpower in the world? How much more could you accomplish?
It’s not that Diminishers don’t get things done. They do. It’s just that the people around them feel drained, overworked and underutilized. Some leaders seem to drain the “intelligence and capability out of the people around them. Their focus on their own intelligence and their resolve to be the smartest person in the room [has] a diminishing effect on everyone else. For them to look smart, other people had to end up looking dumb.” In short, Diminishers are absorbed in their own intelligence, stifle others, and deplete the organization of crucial intelligence and capability.
Multipliers get more done by leveraging (using more) of the intelligence and capabilities of the people around them. They respect others. “Multipliers are leaders who look beyond their own genius and focus their energy on extracting and extending the genius of others.” These are not “feel good” leaders. “They are tough and exacting managers who see a lot of capacity in others and want to utilize that potential to the fullest.”
The authors have identified five key behaviors or disciplines that distinguish Multipliers from Diminishers. You are not either/or but are somewhere along a continuum. These are all learned behaviors and have everything to do with how you view people. We don’t have to be great in all disciplines to be a Multiplier, but we have to be at least neutral in those disciplines we struggle with.

Leaders either Multiply....or Diminish talent
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2015
Practical leadership book subtitled “How the best leaders make everyone smarter.” Full of real life examples from business and life (there is a comprehensive list of the Multipliers cited in the Appendix, along with information on the research), this fascinating book begins by describing the Multiplier effect, continues with 5 chapters contrasting Multipliers with Diminishers: Talent Magnets vs. Empire Builders, Liberators vs. Tyrants, Challengers vs. Know-It-Alls, Debate Makers vs. Decision Makers, and Investors vs. Micromanagers. Each of these pragmatic chapters closes with a quick contract of the two types, citing the key practices of each Multiplier type, steps to becoming each type and unexpected findings that emerged from the research.
This exceptional book closes guidance on becoming a Multiplier (there is also a 360 degree assessment at www.multipliersbook.com to enable the reader to identify their position along the Multiplier-Diminisher continuum.

This is a business book that will stand the test of time and usefulness
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2015
Seeing as I've read this three times, I can't believe I haven't written a review yet. No exaggeration, this book can be a life-changer both at work and in your personal life. I admit that the first time I read it I thought OK, this is so clear as to be obvious; I've seen these types of people for years at work. But so what? I never thought it through and Liz has done the research so my anecdotal evidence, not worth much, is supplanted by the real thing. Chapter by chapter, the concepts were illuminated with great examples and stories. This is no flavor of the month, these are concepts that can be used easily at work. And if applied, they work. I can attest to that. I also recommend going to the book's website for more tools. I took their test to see if I was what Liz calls an "accidental diminisher" (diminishers being the opposite of multipliers), and to my dismay I had several of the traits. I was so sure I wouldn't, but the explanation and analysis made sense to me. I teach a college course in business management and I'm now using this book as required reading. It's astounding how quickly the students grasp the multiplier concept and use it in their analyses of case studies and current business news.

What kind of leader are you? What kind of leader are you being led by?
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2022
As a new hire at a new company, the CEO strongly encouraged all new employees to read this book. I'm always up for reading new books and learning new insights on leadership and leadership styles. Historically I found that I thrived under female leadership and I struggled under male leadership. I initially thought that this was a Mars/Venus in the workplace situation, which gives tips on how to work with the other planet (ie: walking on egg shells and not being my true self). After reading Liz's book, I quickly discovered why I thrived under female leadership. All my female leaders were Multipliers!!
In my new organization, everyone is a Multiplier! Males and females alike! The CEO has surrounded herself with Multipliers, and I am over the moon excited to be working where I am now!
So, are you a Diminisher or a Multiplier? Read this book and find out. If you're a Diminisher and want to become a Multiplier, she gives tips on how to change.
It's a quick and easy read, so what's stopping you?

If you want ROI, become a multiplier
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2017
We’ve all heard—and said—that less is more. Sometimes it’s true. But in most cases it’s still the reality that more is more, and is usually the preferred ROI of resources, whether those resources are of time, money, manpower, brain-trust, whatever. Best of all is getting more from less, and that is what Liz Wiseman’s fine book teaches us to do. Using a wide-range of varying case studies and examples from the world over, Wiseman itemizes the symptoms of a variety of leadership illnesses that sicken a corporate culture and disable its employees. You may well find yourself hiding in these pages somewhere; I know I did. Fortunately, after helping us see where we are minimizing rather than maximizing the human resources at our disposal, Wiseman clearly articulates the prescription(s) to fix the problem(s). It has the added advantage of being an engaging, thoughtful and well-written treatment.

Makes you want to make others want to be their best
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2020
They say the real 10x engineer helps five other engineers be twice as better. This book is an extension of that line of thinking. The author gave a talk at Okta's recent online conference and it was hands down my favorite session. I knew I had to read the book the talk was based on. Aside from giving some useful ways of thinking about the impact you can make, the book goes into greater detail and case studies to help you internalize some of the strategies of getting more out of people -- often by getting out of your own way. If you're a fan of Influencer or Crucial Conversations, this one is in the same vein, as the author reveals she worked under one of those books' authors for a period of time early in her career.

An Essential Book For Anyone Who Works Collaboritively
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2019
The genius of this book is that it doesn't condemn people who exhibit behaviors that "shut down" or inhibit co-workers and employees. Rather it gently terms the offending party, an "accidental diminisher". Liz Wiseman elucidates and explains a variety of common behaviors that have the opposite effect of what the actor intended. A must read for parents, co-workers and supervisors!

One-quarter of the way through the book and I can't wait to finish. It's fantastic-- content is top-notch. Academic and logical, yet practical and accessible. I am thinking about my church responsibility as I listen to it, and Wiseman mentions athletics coaches, business people, teachers, and politicians. It's really an introduction to starting to think of human potential in a new way. I'm glad my friend recommended this to me, and I'm going to recommend it to a lot more people.
I think the author reads the Audible version, and I love her tone. It's conversational enough to feel friendly, but she still speaks with the authority of someone who has invested in the work and believes it.

The Best Leadership Book Anywhere

I am a Talent Development Consultant who studies and speaks on Leadership. I have read plenty of leadership books and studied many methods and I feel like Multipliers is by far the best Leadership book out there because it is simple, easy to understand and backed by real research. As a facilitator, I have actually replicated Liz Wiseman's research in many sessions and it always holds true. I hope more managers read this book and become Multipliers and stop diminishing their people.

A must read if you are looking to become a better leader
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2019
This book is jam packed with a ton of research and examples of what makes a bad leader and how good leaders have multiplier like attributes. I found it awesome how everything was broken down in detail and thoroughly explained. I also had a lot of moments when realized how the negative behavior of previous leaders affected me and how my behaviors negatively impacted my team. The only downside is that the information in the book is alot and if you are looking for a quick read this not the book for you. However if you wanted to no stone left unturned on how to be a better leader then it gets no better than this!

Grab a copy for every leader in your company!
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2017
There are a handful of books that, as a team building speaker and facilitator, I enthusiastically recommend for leaders to read and refer to as part of their own personal development to become better leaders. THIS is one of those books. Liz Wiseman and Greg McKeown provide a well-researched and easy to read collection of data to support their powerful one main point - do-it-all heroes diminish the success and growth of their people, while multipliers use questions, debate, and challenges to inspire extraordinary results.
That simple shift, from growing ourselves to growing others is supported with dozens of useful and colorful stories that illustrate the impact that a true multiplier can have on an organization... and the book shares tools and ideas for you to begin to take steps to move toward becoming a multiplier yourself. Grab a copy for every leader in your company!

Worthwhile for school leaders too.
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2012
As a member of a panel discussion on the challenges of recruiting accomplished teachers to challenging schools a few years ago, I was asked a simple question by a district superintendent. "How can I get more teachers like you in my schools?" he said.
My answer was immediate: "Find as many amazing principals as you can. Hire them, develop them, and pay them a heaping cheeseload of cash to stay. Spend more time on recruiting and retaining school leaders because good teachers want to work for good principals."
If you agree with my logic that good principals matter, then you've got to read Multipliers by Liz Wiseman and Greg Mckeown.
Based years of experience coaching the senior leadership of leading companies and thousands of hours combing through data on the traits of leaders who succeed, Wiseman and Mckeown identify the characteristics of Multipliers -- leaders who get the most out of their people -- and Diminishers, or leaders whose very behaviors hold organizations back.
What I like the best about Multipliers is that it gives tangible language for describing the kinds of steps that successful leaders take to empower their employees.
While Multipliers isn't written specifically for schools, superintendents, principals and teacher leaders could pick this title up and quickly identify simple leadership changes that would leave their co-workers energized and their organizations more productive.

Thanks to this book, now I know what a Multiplier vs. a Diminsher is about. This book has solidified the two ends of the leadership spectrum for me. Chapter 7 (Becoming a Multiplier) and Appendix B (Frequently Asked Questions)to me are the meaty portion of this book, since I found in these pages answers to my own questions while reading this page-turner in less than three days, which is a record for me. I hope Wiseman and McKeown will go on and publish in the near future their research findings on being immune to Diminishers, sort of as a self-help book. It's wonderful that they discover more questions than answers conducting research for this book. In order to keep on learning and expanding one's IQ and emotional IQ and rising above one's own present and immediate circumstances, it's important to spot a Diminsher in one's sphere of influence, but I believe it's even more critical to be able to build resilence against the potentially damaging effect from them to one's mental, intellectual, emotional, and physical well being. In other words, build immunity. Until more people choose to become multipliers, one's probability of dealing with Diminishers is fairly high and certain, say at a work place environ (bosses, co-workers), for example. I had the good fortune to work for a Multiplier in my early 20's and he changed my life. I had the good fortune to befriend a Multiplier in my late 20's and he changed my life some more still. Thank you all the Multipliers out there, you do matter a great deal and you certainly have turned me toward being a Multiplier myself more and more in each passing day. I am looking forward to reading Wiseman's book "Multiplier Effect."
