Read Resilient Management by Lara Hogan.
I started reading Lara's blog late last year and her ideas have really influenced some of my approaches to management, especially after reading this! She provides insights on how to be considerate of others (there's always room to be more empathetic, and more productive with that empathy) as well as lots of tools for engaging with your folks effectively and building real trust.
Besides making me a better manager, I think this book has transformed what I expect from my managers. Watch out!
