1. Dare to Lead — Brene Brown

In her book Dare to Lead, Brene Brown talked about courageous leadership and being kind to your people by providing clear feedback and advice. My main takeaway from this book was that courageous leadership doesn’t mean being directive, appearing to have it all together or having all the answers. It means being vulnerable, showing your true self and being willing to be accountable for your actions, despite fear.

2. Atomic Habits — James Clear

It’s no secret that I like to set goals and follow system and processes. Through Atomic Habit book, James Clear shed light on something I was missing, creating a habit that is impossible to not follow through with your plan. Make it easy, make it obvious, make it attractive and make it satisfying, the author said.

3. 7 Habits of Highly Effective People — Stephen R. Covey
