Be the Boss Everyone Wants to Work for: A Guide for New Leaders

When you become a boss, you must focus on your group: flip that script from me to we. This means flipping pretty much everything else-your mindset, your skillset, your work relationships, your do it all attitude, your view of the organization, and more. Gentry walks you through each of six flips, offering practical, research-based advice and examples drawn from his work at CCL. But this book is more than a series of best practices-it's your guide to internalizing a leader's perspective. Gentry helps you flip your script so you'll know what to do to help yourself and the team you lead succeed. That's the kind of boss everyone wants to work for-and the kind of boss who accomplishes the most.
