I will get the ball rolling with a few, by no means is this exhaustive;
- Four Agreements
- First Time Manager
- The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
- Emotional Intelligence 2.0

Also, some other tips and tricks:
- set up regular 1:1s
- try to understand their goals and motivations
- focus on how to get the work done AND how to help them grow and develop
- situational leadership is key - treat each one as an individual

I would add Multipliers and Radical Candor to this list.

Also, to VP's point, try to figure out strengths and weaknesses and put people in positions to succeed, especially when it can align with their goals.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
