Flip your script so you won't flop as a boss -- Flip your mindset -- Flip your skillset -- Flip your relationships -- Flip your "do it all" attitude -- Flip your perspective -- Flip your focus -- Stick with your flipped script.
Summary: Why do half or more new managers quickly flame out? They're working from an old script for success. The Center for Creative Leadership Senior Research Scientist William Gentry shows them how to flip that script. As an individual, your script is about me. It calls for you to keep your head down, work hard, do everything you are told to do and more, and outshine and relentlessly outperform everyone. But when you become a manager, everything about your job needs to change your skillset, the nature of your work relationships, your understanding of what work is, how you see yourself and your organization.
