That’s our company’s book, written by our managing partner, Jay Sullivan. I was pleasantly surprised to see it pop up while browsing HN.
What’s one thing you learned from the book that’s been helpful for you?
(Nonviolent Communication is also a good one that’s on my reading list)

I'm currently mentoring new tech leads, and I'm using books heavily as a tool. I usually break a book into two or three parts which we discuss and try to apply to our every-day problems. It works quite well.
However the biggest challenge I had wasn't finding good leadership books, but narrowing my list of books down.
I currently read with my mentees:
- The Managers Path
- Elastic Leadership
- Simply Said: Communicating Better at Work and Beyond
- Nonviolent communication
"Simply Said" is a good example for my struggle: I picked it because I needed a single book that covers written communication, presentations, body language, focus on the needs of the person communicated to etc.
There are surely better books for each topic individually, but picking a single one was tough!
