Hi Florine, I enjoyed 'Dare to Lead' a lot as well. It that was expiring to you, you might enjoy 'The Work' by Byron Katie or 'Non violent communication' by Marshall Rosenberg as well. Both available on audible

Only published in Dutch now, however they are working on a translation to English already. It is "De meeste mensen deugen" ("Most people are good") by Rutger Bregman.
It gives an interesting perspective on whether we humans, are good or bad, based on psychology, economy, biology and archaeology. And what this perspective means for our society.
And the same, for how we organize our work. Do we need all these managers, procedures, rules and controls? Or could we actually trust each other slightly more?
