Book recommendations for newly minted managers?

Looking for advice on how to be less of a ‘yes woman.’ I’ve gotten feedback that I should be less quick to say yes or should feel comfortable pushing back on unreasonable requests, but I’m struggling with doing that in practice.

Wondering if there are any resources (coaching, book recommendations…?) that you have found helpful to retrain your frame of mind to be less of a people pleaser and feel more confident being direct or saying no. Any suggestions welcome!

I was not sure how to bring this up or if I should tell my SM who knows I’m a work harder. What complicated things is I’m also seeking to roll off in a few months

Is it me or is the bench a blessing ?

I quit my job this morning, leaving for industry. When asked why I was leaving, I shared a few aspirational points about why I was going where I was going. The partner tore me down with unsolicited feedback about my performance then told me that everywhere was the opposite of the aspirational features I underscored.

Why do people do that? It’s been in my head all day.
