Flipping the Script in Leadership with Bill Gentry

In this episode of Management Development Unlocked, Eric speaks with Bill Gentry, an industrial organizational psychologist who has studied and trained leaders for over 20 years. He also wrote the bestselling book, Be the Boss Everyone Wants to Work For: A Guide for New Leaders. After working for the Center for Creative Leadership for many years, he landed at High Point University and has worked as an adjunct faculty member at several colleges and universities in North Carolina. His passion is helping people lead better.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

1. What Bill’s book is about, what inspired him to write it, and how it can help you flip your script when it comes to leadership.
2. What a “red thread” is and the six flips you can make to become a better leader.
3. Why the two flips you should focus most on are relationships and a “do it all” attitude.
4. Why you have to let go of the things you aren’t as good at to focus on the things you are good at.
5. The cycle of life choice and how that applies to professional and personal relationships.
6. Who Bill would interview if he could talk to anyone, and why.
7. His favorite vacation spot and what brings him the most joy in life.
