Flip Your Script! You’ve been promoted to leadership-congratulations! But it’s nothing like your old job, is it? William Gentry says it’s time to flip your script. We all have mental scripts that tell us how the world works. Your old script was all about “me”: standing out as an individual. But as a new leader, you need to flip your script from “me” to “we” and help the group you lead succeed. In this book, Gentry supports and coaches you to flip your script in six key areas. He offers actionable, practical, evidence-based advice and examples drawn from his research, his work with leaders, and his own failures and triumphs of becoming a new leader. Get started flipping your script and become the kind of boss everyone wants to work for. Review “Instead of learning from one (un)lucky boss at a time, what if you could learn from all of their successes and mistakes at once? That’s what William Gentry offers-a tour through the art, science, and practice of leadership. With delightfully quirky writing and a strong foundation in evidence, this book is as fun to read as it is actionable.” -Adam Grant, Professor of Psychology, The Wharton School, and New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take “Using a unique combination of research, straight talk, and humor, Gentry brings to light all of the barriers that keep new leaders from succeeding (including the ones we don’t talk about) and offers clear-cut, actionable strategies to face those barriers head-on to become “the boss everyone wants to work for.” It’s clear that Gentry has a deep understanding of what it takes to develop strong leaders. This has become required reading in my organization.” -Brene Brown, PhD, LMSW, author of the New York Times #1 bestsellers Daring Greatly and Rising Strong “If you are a new leader, this book is for you. The first chapter alone is worth the price of the book. Get started right and you can be the boss that everyone wants to work for. I highly recommend it.” -Gary Chapman, New York Times bestselling author of The Five Love Languages and The Five Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace “You may be an all-star individual contributor at work, but being a manager is a whole different ball game! Follow Dr. Gentry’s results-based strategy and learn what it really takes to be an effective, successful manager!” -Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 #1 Leadership Thinker in the World and author of the New York Times bestsellers Triggers, What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, and Mojo “Most employees are disengaged, and 60 percent of new leaders get no training as they are promoted into their first managerial position. Maybe these two facts are related! Basing his work on both social science and practical experience, Bill Gentry provides usable tools to help people become “the boss everyone wants to work for.” -Jeffrey Pfeffer, Thomas D. Dee II Professor of Organizational Behavior, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University, and author of Leadership BS “I wish this book had been around when I started my career. Fortunately, it’s never too late to make the six life-changing flips that Bill Gentry describes in this profoundly insightful book. With this trifecta of research conducted at the world-famous Center for Creative Leadership, personal stories from people on their own leadership journey, and a wonderfully entertaining writing style, this book is destined to be a classic. Bill’s leadership road map will help you become the boss that everyone wants to work for.” -Joe Tye, CEO and Head Coach, Values Coach Inc., and author of All Hands on Deck “At last, a research-based yet exceptionally hands-on book focused on one of the toughest boundaries to span-the one from superstar individual to manager. Gentry has captured the direction leadership development needs to go-sustainable, action oriented, and a total departure from old ways of thinking.” -Chris Ernst, Global Head, Learning, Leadership, and
