This is a canny, rich memoir that respects its audience by not talking down or preaching, by not conducting its own therapy on the reader's time, by telling a good story, and even by handling its celebrity subjects without fetishizing or gossiping. She tells stories in such a way that leaves the interpretation of the story to the reader. Huston is an excellent writer with a compelling command of language, and I'd have wanted to read the book even if it wasn't littered with pop culture icons. It makes me a bit sad that she has not had a parallel career as a writer.

Filled with practical advice and lessons, and backed by extensive research by Gentry and others, this book lays out the art, science, and practice behind learning and leading as a first time manager. Through first-hand accounts, stories, and other examples drawn from the experiences of first-time managers - including Gentry's own story of recently become a first-time manager himself - the book's practical, actionable content helps readers flip the old script, and write and live their new script.

Repetitive, simplistic, inane

Chock full of obviousness and cliche, idiotic buzzwords. If the author wrote “flip the script” one more time... how did this get published / recorded?
