Starting a Book Club at work is comes with both benefits and challenges. I’m a big fan of them, but you may find that choosing a book to read with your coworkers is no easy feat. Here’s a quick and easy list for you to save and refer to anytime you find yourself stumped when suggesting books.

After starting a new job at a company with fewer than thirty employees, I’ve been reading more and more about building great companies and cultures. Principles fits the bill.

Having read a fair few books on companies, teams, and organizational culture, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I appreciate the punchiness of the book. Too many books on team culture highlight tired stories of achievement in the 1950s or focus on one particular success story that is unlikely to be repeatable at another company.

I loved this book. Nichols talks about everything from the merits of colleges, the good and bad of social media (spoiler: there’s very little that’s good), and the concept that while experts are occasionally wrong, they are consistently less wrong than you and I.

A non-fiction book where three unlikely parties converge for a true story that reads like the latest thriller novel. This absolutely a must-read.

If you think negotiating is like a battle, or if it gives you anxiety, I’d highly recommend this book. Voss takes high-stakes situations and gets to the root of how to be successful at ensuring the best possible outcome.

The Trusted Advisor has been around for twenty years. If you’re new to the world of human interaction and relationship building, or you need a formulaic approach to working with people, you might enjoy this book.

There are so many ways to begin your self-development journey. In addition to hiring a coach (hi!), it’s never too late to read and discover yourself through books. These are my favorites in my journey so far and I hope they help you.
