A top question I get is for book recommendations. As an avid reader, I struggle when asked with so many genres to choose from so I\u2019ll recommend books that have played a huge role in my leadership journey. These are books that I read and re-read when I need to, and are all earmarked, highlighted and scribbled on ( something that a young Modernbossmama would never do to her precious books). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radical Candor<\/a> Kim Scott <\/p>\n\n\n\n Key takeaway: Who doesn\u2019t want to be a badass boss? it\u2019s better to be candid than nice. Radical candor is what happens when you put caring and challenging directly together. Such a hard lesson for many women leaders and one I still have to work on. This book has great frameworks on how to be a better boss and colleague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fair Play<\/a> Eve Rodksy<\/p>\n\n\n\n This book is all about sharing the mental load that many ModernBossMamas face and helping to find a more reasonable balance with your partner. I love the rules of Fair Play and the chapter on reclaiming your “Unicorn Space” the things outside of work\/money\/momming that makes us come alive. If you are experiencing an imbalance in the mental load, household responsibilities, go get this book NOW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Multipliers<\/a> Liz Wiseman<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Multipliers are the leaders that make people around them smarter and more capable. They create an atmosphere of genius- innovation, productive effort, and collective intelligence.” I like to create more with everything I can. Constant optimizer, multi-tasker ( polarizing topic), everything about this book got me excited. This book is a must read for all new leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dare to Lead Like a Girl<\/a> Dalia Feldheim<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to be mistaken for the queen Brene Brown\u2019s Daring to Lead ( but also a great read), here\u2019s the one for all my fellow Modernbossmamas who are trying to survive and thrive in the corporate jungle. Key takeaway: you don\u2019t have to diminish your femininity in order to thrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s in your top five? Note that modernbossmama does earn commissions on purchases through the shared links. I also am fully transparent in my love for hardback novels for leadership , self improvement reads although I love my Kindle <\/a> for mindless thrillers and beach reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A top question I get is for book recommendations.
