Books

I've been in-house a few years and I have the legal skills needed to do my job down reasonably well. One thing I know I need work on is understanding skills and knowledge of working within the corporate world and skills needed for ascending to leadership roles. This ranks high on the list of "things I think that would be helpful to my practice that is fully not covered in law school." Does anyone have any books/podcasts/general resources that they found helpful in their career?

Any recommendations on books on Leadership?

Hey!
I just got a job as an Onboarding Lead (their 1st onboarder) at a small start up.
My job will be onboarding/assisting new clients in our platform. I’ve had 6 yrs of tech support and customer success management experience, but as a 100% onboarding role I am looking for resources on how to build/develop an Onboarding program and team.
I know it’s a vague ask, but any websites, books, creators or accounts that would be helpful to get my creative juices flowing would be so appreciated. Thx!

Best books on leadership and sales skills?

I firmly believe leadership makes the difference.

Not only, it highlins each one's value, but especially spreads this value among others.
I'm speaking about life, in a broad sense, which also include work life, but it is not limited to that.

Looking for any kind of suggestion to improve my leadership: books, experiences, attitudes, daily-routine, ...

Thank you!

Hello, All! I'm looking for recommendations on inspirational content for women leaders. I follow TEDWomen, many podcasts, and the Women's Conference among other sources. I'd love to hear a fresh perspective on business, trends, tech, marketing, equality in the workforce, etc. I'd love to learn something new. I'm at the VP level and have started a couple of companies, so nothing too junior, but open to many topics. Please share any speakers, books, webinars, or events that you may come across.

Does anyone have any good book recommendations for developing Christian leadership skills in the workplace? I’m trying to connect my Christian mission with what I do on a daily basis and want to understand how to lead my team members in a way consistent with how God expects leaders to be (in action and thought). Apologies if this has already been asked before (I don’t know how to “search” a bowl).

Why do people on here insist on chasing great “leaders” and not brands you enjoy? Most ECDs and VPs suck anyhow and don’t offer anything that I can’t learn from experience. Why would I want my book filled with work/brands that don’t represent the kind of brands I want to work on or enjoy?

My organization has had some executive leadership changes & drastic HR changes in the last 2 years. This was done strategically due to rapid growth and a 30% increase in employees in less than a year. My team & executive leadership has identified significant issues around our employees having lost trust in their supervisors and this is impacting the overall culture. We are focusing on supervisor development & are looking for a book or course to help supervisors gain the trust back. Suggestions?
