In this summary, you'll learn to spot the difference between multipliers and diminishers, then discover how to become a multiplier who brings out the best in others. Favorite Takeaway: The more solutions you share, the stupider your team gets. So, when asked how to solve a problem, respond with: "I don't know—what do you think?" Get people to become proactive problem solvers and not expect an immediate answer from you. When you're discussing a problem in a team meeting, ask questions and talk as little as possible.
