I love what the guys at Manager-Tools have to say. They have a podcast and series of tools that are incredibly practical for improving your management chops. Increasingly people I know are on self-managing teams where a little management general knowledge can help everyone.
I found the show on “Improving you Feedback” to be the most personally helpful. I was provided this link from someone who thought I could use it - thanks you were right. Its based on thier DISC model for personality and helps you create n environment where feedback is provided, expected and necessary. Incredibly powerful at reducing the level of passive aggressiveness you may be experiencing on your team.
