Best books for new managers
Six books for a manager's first year.
Each one covers a different first-year skill: running one-on-ones, coaching, giving feedback, getting through the first 90 days and handling hard conversations. Give a cohort of new managers the same book and they share a playbook from week one.

Strengths-based leadership
Building a strengths-based team? Start with CliftonStrengths.
BookPal is a Gallup Preferred Partner. Pair a leadership read with StrengthsFinder 2.0 or CliftonStrengths 34, so every manager starts from their own top five, and ask us whether the book-with-code or digital codes suit your rollout.

Our short list: The Making of a Manager by Julie Zhuo, It's the Manager from Gallup, Radical Candor by Kim Scott, The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier, The First 90 Days by Michael D. Watkins and Crucial Conversations. Each covers a different first-year skill, from one-on-ones and coaching to feedback and hard conversations.
Which leadership book works for a whole team to read together?
Choose a book that gives the team a shared vocabulary it can use the next morning. Extreme Ownership, Multipliers and Turn the Ship Around are among the business titles the most organizations buy from BookPal, and The Five Dysfunctions of a Team is a classic for team offsites. Tell us about the team and we'll suggest two or three options.
What does it cost for 25, 100 or 500 copies?
Volume pricing applies automatically by quantity, with no codes. This page shows each title's live price per copy at 25, and the discount grows at 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 copies, up to 51% off list at 1,000 or more. Larger volumes get a written quote, and every quote holds for 30 days. The team-reading planner gives you a live total for any quantity.
Can you ship a copy to each manager's home, or kit it with a journal?
Yes. Send a spreadsheet with one row per person and we mail a copy to each home or office; packing and postage for every recipient are itemized on your quote. You can also pair each book with a Castelli journal debossed with your logo. The deboss is free, with a one-time $75 die charge on journal orders under 100.
Do you carry the workbooks or facilitator guides?
For many titles, yes. The Official Extreme Ownership Companion Workbook and the participant workbook and team assessment for The Five Dysfunctions of a Team are in our catalog, and we quote facilitator guides whenever the publisher offers one. Add them to the same quote as the books.
How far ahead should we order?
Order at least 10 business days before you need the books in hand at one address (11 from mid-November through December); the planner turns your date into an order-by day. Mailing a copy to each person takes longer: allow about 20 business days with our most economical option (free ground transfer to our warehouse, economy postage), or ask about expedited processing and faster, tracked postage. Our specialists are happy to confirm timing for your exact titles.
Can we pay with a purchase order?
Yes. We accept purchase orders from organizations, with Net 30 from the invoice date for approved accounts. Cards, ACH and wire work too, and tax-exempt organizations can send their certificate with the order.
