Be the Boss Everyone Wants to Work For

Most new managers fail not because they're untalented but because the skills that earned the promotion are the wrong ones for leading a team.

This practical, research-backed guide from a senior research scientist at the Center for Creative Leadership walks newly promoted supervisors through 6 essential mindset and skill shifts, from individual contributor to people leader. Backed by data and endorsed by Brené Brown and Adam Grant, it delivers honest, sometimes humorous coaching grounded in real organizational research.

Inside the 6 flips:

• Mindset — from personal achievement to collective success
• Skill Set — from technical expertise to people leadership
• Relationships — from peer to leader without losing trust
• Attitude — from doing everything yourself to empowering others
• Perspective — seeing the organization through a leader's lens
• Focus — sustaining the shift for a lasting career in leadership

Written for first-time managers across every industry and sector and used by HR teams as a new-leader onboarding resource.

If you were just promoted and feel like no one prepared you for this, this book was written for you.
