In today’s episode, I’m talking with Bill Gentry, author, and a teacher and researcher at the Center for Creative Leadership. In addition to his new book, Be the Boss Everyone Wants to Work for: A Guide for New Leaders, he has over 40 published articles concerning leadership and has given many presentations on the practical application of his research. Whether you’re a rookie manager or a seasoned leader, I think you’ll love our conversation about shifting your mindset, and “flipping your script,” by focusing your efforts onto those you lead and their own successes!
