Hey Zoltan,

For leadership, another John Maxwell book (with a horribly long title) can help:

  The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You

Working in communities can be challenging because everyone has different constraints.  Here's another book to help with that:

  The Phoenix Project
  Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, and George Spafford

The Phoenix Project is a modern take on another book that was originally about efficiency in the manufacturing process:

  The Goal
  Eliyahu M. Goldratt
  https://www.toc-goldratt.com/en/product/The-Goal-A-Process-of-Ongoing-Improvement

The Goal and The Phoenix Project take you through a bunch of self-improvement ideas through a good story.  Both books center around someone who has some (insurmountable) challenges and they have to make their way through it.  Both hit on the actual technical work that needs to be done and the emotional side of it as well.  The Goal goes a bit deeper into the emotional side and it's extremely impactful.

I hope that helps!
