I love Brene Brown - Dare to Lead. Also instead of reading hiring a business coach. Huge gamechanger for me.

I love having a business coach. ChatGPT is also a pretty good coach/consultant. You can get some pretty great actionable advice on there.

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie is one of my go-to's. As entrepreneurs, we don't spend enough time revisiting the good, bad and ugly of our past work and processes. Too often, we're putting out fires, handling all the things while also looking towards whatever comes next. In many cases, taking a look back at similar occurrences will help spot trends and those trends can help develop new processes.

I really like Multipliers by Liz Wiseman and I've read it multiple times and also done bookclub discussions on it with new leaders. It teaches you a coaching mindset so you can get 110% out of your team vs the typical 70-80% we get (I can't remember the exact number). Most of the strategies are simple but the way they unlock things for your team is amazing. AND if you get it wrong than you can easily become a 'diminisher' and actually hold your team and their success metrics backâoften unintentionally, like if you think you should be involved in every decision, or jump in to 'save the day' all the time.
One easy 'multiplier' tip that stuck with me is the simple practice of telling someone what they're good at. When you're naturally good at something you might think everyone else is also good at this thing and you don't know you are a level above and can hone this skill even further until someone points it out to you.
