Lean-In type book suggestions?

[y4m]

I need to bring three copies of a book or article with a career-related theme to a meeting next weekend. Any suggestions?

The Confidence Code by Claire Shipman and Katty Kay (I think those are their names).

This isn't a lean in type book but my manager made me read this recently. hbr.org/1999/11/management-time-whos-got-the-monkey

I think all managers/leaders should read Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, by Susan Cain, regardless on if they identify as a Introvert or Extrovert.

One of the things that bothers me the most is when staff, and especially managers, are anti-confrontational. 

So, I would bring this book.

Nothing to contribute but thanks for the book recs!

"The leadership challenge" by Posner and Kouzes was the basis of a good course I took. They have articles too.

I haven't read the book, but attended a seminar on the concept and plan on picking up the book. It's called "The Fred Factor" by mark sanborn.

This is on my list, for both professional and personal reasons.  My brother (a fellow introvert) read this and highly recommended it.

I don't have kids, but she has a whole section on parenting introverts, and parenting as an introvert. We've used it as a Women in Leadership bookclub in work and had great discussions that led to actual change in our workplace.

Even more gender-focused, but I really liked Women Don't Ask.

ETA - about negotiation and by Linda Babcock.

It's for a Lean In group, so gender focused is ok. I'm leaning toward Quiet right now, though
