S3-Ep3: Be the Boss Everyone Wants to Work For: A Guide for New Leaders

Featured Guest: William A. (Bill) Gentry

As part of the International Leadership Association Conference series, I invited Bill to discuss his new book focusing on helping new leaders and the teams they lead succeed. Bill talks about: • Common mistakes new leaders make • The unique challenges faced by first time managers, such as the transition from “BFF” to “boss” • How first time managers can motivate their teams, while maintaining the relationships they had before the promotion • What support first time managers actually need, and how organizations can provide it This interview and the associated book provide a great foundation for helping first time managers.
