I'm looking for leadership mentoring, but alongside this, I want to do a course and some reading to develop my leadership skills.
- Management
- Strategic thinking
- General leadership
Any good books you've read or courses attended?

Tribes by Seth Godin is the best book I've read on the subject. A very short, a but perspective-changing read.

@petartodd Thanks Petar. Added to my ever growing amazon list! :D
Icebreaker time!
A very short list which I consider a really good start:
Drive
Radical Candor
Turn the ship around
Leaders eat last
Creativity Inc.
How to win friends and influence people
@pragmaticsenses Thanks David. Will check these out. I actually have "How to win friends and influence people" sat on my shelf!

I can highly recommend this course from Harvard Business Manager: https://online.hbs.edu/courses/m...
it is honestly not cheap, but it's super hands on while it goes very in depths. very good material to read. Great for new managers or a refresher on best practices.
I can also recommend just to read the Harvard Business Review: https://hbr.org/ - lots of free great articles.
@cathrin_schneider thanks for your suggestions, will certainly take a look ☺
Ben, I work in this field and would be happy to help you with some resources. David has some good suggestions below - I also recommend Brian Tracy as an author.
@kevin_onarecker Thanks Kevin, kuch appreciated. I will be sure to check Brian Tracy out.
