Radical candor ted talkCulture, OperationsKim Scott
Radical candor is a book, but I would be lying if I said it was a good book. There is a 30 to 45 minute Ted talk on the book radical candor, and if you love the concept, you can read the book but the book is basically the Ted talk plus a ton of examples. The big take away is you will learn how you lead people but you need to learn how to lead people by challenging them directly and caring personally, and it goes through different quadrants and may reveal some of your ongoing tensions you may face as a manager

Boundaries for leadersCulture, OperationsHenery Cloud
As an owner, I almost started crying in the first chapter of this book. It talks about an owner named Chris that wants to have a great company and does everything for everyone, but somehow his culture is not a 10 out of 10. One employee has power over all the rest, no matter how much you try to motivate the team, there's always someone who takes your motivation as intimidation. This book will teach you how to set good boundaries that have a great culture, and keep you accountable to be a better boss
