getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in 10 minutes.

Most new leaders get almost no training. Psychologist William Gentry helps fill this void with tools, advice and guidance for “entry-level and first-level supervisors, managers and directors.” His goal is to help you “flip your script” – to invert “mind-set, skill set, relationships, attitude, perspective and focus” to become an effective leader. Though his tips may not be groundbreaking, Gentry draws from solid research and relevant personal experience. The book includes practical exercises for learning the leadership skills he discusses. getAbstract recommends the sensible guidebook to anyone newly promoted into a leadership position and to those who train leaders.
