  • Great resource for new and evolving managers
Full disclosure: I am a big fan of the work of Bill Gentry and wrote an endorsement for the book. With a trifecta of research conducted at the world-famous Center for Creative Leadership, personal stories from people at various points on the leadership journey, and a wonderfully entertaining writing style, this book has something for leaders at every level. Bill’s leadership roadmap will help you become the boss that everyone wants to work for. I’ve highly recommended this book to all of our clients and to my newsletter readers. ... show more

  • easy to digest and totally on point
I came to know Bill Gentry through his exceptional work with the Center for Creative Leadership. Most leaders don't get formal leadership training until 42 or later if ever -- so leadership learning is survival of the fittest. Bill's passion for helping new leaders be successful from the get go boosts leader confidence and reduces the chaos for seasoned leaders with full plates. This books is well-researched, easy to digest and totally on point. It's a must read guide for first time leaders and a nice refresher for emerging leaders with some spots to polish. It's my go to reading for new leaders. ... show more

  • Great book for first time managers
Moving from individual contributor to manager is not just a leap in level. It's a categorically different job. This book does a great job of highlighting the science supporting why managers need to shift their focus from self to others and provides great anecdotes and practical examples of how to become successful in the move. Adding this to the list of books for my MBA students to check out. ... show more

  • Systematic and applicable approaches for new leaders to flip the script
Very systematic. After I close the book,I can connect the content of each chapter. And I found the answer I had in the past months being a new leader.

  • Worth your time
Great book on leadership. Got to hear author discuss it on a zoom meeting and he is a sharp shooter with upper management written all over him.

  • Awesome book, a tad redundant.
The advice and guidelines in this book are amazing. It has truly helped me and gave me a new look on managing. Although, the author is very repetitive with a few phrases it’s still a great read!
