This is a YouTube video titled "3 Books I Recommend to my Coaching Clients" (created 2026-03-10T16:00:57+00:00) featuring Dave Kashen. In this excerpt he recommends three leadership/management books—Radical Candor (to be kind and direct), Leadership and Self-Deception (to avoid relating to people only as roles), and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (a classic guide to effective leadership)—framing them as recommendations for his coaching clients.

Here are 3 more books I recommend to all my clients. Radical Candor, because it shows how to be both kind and direct. Leadership and Self-Deception, because it shows what happens when you start to relate to people as their roles instead of human beings and how to avoid that trap. And The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, because it's one of the best, most classic maps of how to be an amazing leader.
