How to lead people?

I work in a small agency. We create websites and mobile apps for our clients. I’m the once who is in charge in tech.

We have 4 more programmers and I’m the leader of the coding team.
People say, I’m doing good as a leader, but I’m sure there is still a hu-u-u-ge room to grow.

I plan to quit my job in a year or two and found my own startup. I think I will need to have more advanced leadership skill to be successful as an entrepreneur.

How do I enhance it? Any books, courses or advices? Thanks!!

Hi @john99,

This is a bit late but wanted to respond so that it may help others in the future as well. You may already by familiar with some in this list.

Have a look at Simon Sinek https://www.youtube.com/user/simonsinek

With regards to books I would recommend How to Win Friends & Influence People (https://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/0671027034)

Lastly though not specifically geared towards leadership I recommend having a look at The Last Lecture (https://youtu.be/ji5_MqicxSo) as it is a well rounded talk.

Hope this helps you or anyone in the same position,
