Beyond the Boys' Club
Suzanne Doyle-Morris · Published 2009
I am recommending this book to friends, colleagues and clients (both men & women) as it's valuable to all in organisations. I only wish this book had been out when I was younger as I would have felt less alone as a women in a male dominated environment.

Trust Unwrapped: A Story of Ethics, Integrity and Chocolate
Dan Collins · Published 2008
Easy to read format and loved the perspective. I really liked the format - it worked well. The story itself is a little 'fairytale' but heh... The left hand side section of the book was very valuable & excellent input.

Who Moved My Cheese: An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life
Spencer Johnson · Published 1999
A short one! Cheese is a metaphor for what you want to have in life - whether it is a good job, a loving relationship, money or a possession, health or spiritual peace of mind. Its all about how to deal with change.

Why Smart Executives Fail and What You Can Learn From Their Mistakes
Sydney Finkelstein · Published 2013
Reference to learn from other’s mistakes. A little outdated now so I’m sure this will be superseded soon. Still valuable.

Healing the Wounds: Overcoming the Trauma of Layoffs and Revitalizing Downsized Organizations
David M. Noer · Published 1995
An insightful read for a leader faced with this situation. I would also recommend any of William Bridges’ books on Transition.
