Books about leadership and developing your soft skills
I recently tweeted this
Can anyone recommend any books which focus on the soft skills/behaviours required of someone in a senior / leadership position?
I had so many replies with lots of interesting books and resources so I thought I would collate all the responses in one place for others to benefit from too.
