Hello,
Hope you all are doing well.
I was looking for blogs or books or podcasts related to leadership skills
I have already read Robin Sharma, Adam Grant, Simon Sinek, Prakash Iyer and Dale Carnegie’s books
Do you have any other good recommendations or suggestions if any?
I know there are no recipes for leadership or how to handle people better.
It’s all a very situational and case-case story.
But sooner or later I will be in this position and I can’t escape it and do not want it to be awkward.
Regards
Mahathee

I asked a somewhat related question a while ago, and I got some really good book recommendations on the topics of management and leadership on this thread:
Lately, I’ve been thinking about managerial QA-related roles and I got an opportunity to maybe become a test manager for a project sometime in the near future. I’ve been watching some older TestBash talks, reading a few blogs on this topic, and watching many Pluralsight courses on soft skills lately.
I know the test manager role is a bit of an old-school role, but sometimes a potential change does sound nice, I don’t see myself reporting bugs and writing tests till my retirement.
…
Hope you find something helpful there!
