We have to flip the leadership playbook. ( From TED)

What does this mean？ To learn from the metaphorical playbook or to upend it?

Haven't watched the video, but from the quote it would be the same as what Merriam Webster describes as 'flip the script':

flip the script

informal

: to achieve an outcome or adopt an approach that is opposite to or completely different from what has happened or been done previously

The tagline to the video on YouTube mentions:

Humility, transparency and urgency are the keys to successfully steering an organization — big or small — through the challenges that come your way

So if "humility" wouldn't traditionally be seen as a leadership quality, but they've "flipped the script" (or "flipped the leadership playbook") and are taking a different approach.
