Ah, I just love it when I don't have to hunt for good books. Below is a list of 59 books that have been recommended by a wonderful group on Linkedin. Enjoy! Sorry, all of them don't have the authors listed, but a good amazon search should get you what you need.
Compiled by "Workplace Experience" Linkedin Group Member, Curtis Cairns.
"I've been impressed with these suggestions and surprised at the number of them with which I was unfamiliar. I had to list them out and thought maybe helpful to compile them. And add one more to the list: Shaping the Game by Michael Watkins."
