I need some inspiration going into this weekend. As a manager (as of the last 6 months) , I've been wanting to make a real change for the team, especially the ones at entry-level who want to rise. What's a book you'd recommend?

Skip the books for now and just talk to your team. Ask them what they need and what's getting in their way. Their responses are going to be 1000000000x more useful than anything you'd read because they're real and applicable to your job and company, not some hypothetical one.

“The Culture Code” by Daniel Coyle and “Multipliers” by Liz Wiseman are a couple of my favorites. Take some inspiration and put it into action. Remember that no two people are the same, so be adaptable and not too rigid when trying to help others grow.

OP, what did you end up going with?

Currently, I’m listening to Let Them by Mel Robbins… it could be useful for for sales and stuff outside of sales, too.

Books don’t help. Engage with your people and make sure they feel seen and heard and supported

Books help if the mentor or team lead sets an example of, for instance, reading a book every two weeks. Growth happens in reading books, trust me!

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time. Now I’m actively looking for a new sales position, have tons of experience, but am struggling to even get a response from job apps. I am wondering if this is because of my employment gap? I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations.
