Used Book in Good Condition
I had this book as required reading for my "Software Engineering" course in college:
https://www.amazon.com/Team-Geek-Software-Developers-Working/dp/1449302440
It goes over all the different types of "toxic" behavior and how to treat them. I still have a copy as I find it valuable.
C For Dummies, Volumes 1 and 2, by Dan Gookin. At almost 1200 pages, it goes through everything a beginner should know in a very readable way, with no preconditions on prior knowledge. These books will take you from a complete novice to the sort of programmer who can pick up another language similar to C (most of them) in a couple of weeks.
Unfortunately it looks like they shrunk these tomes into a single book that doesn't even mention pointers in the most recent version. C All-in-One Desk Reference may be closer.
Peopleware, by Tom DeMarco. If you ever want to manage a software development team, or even really work with a team, you owe it to yourself to read this book. Team Geek is in the same realm.
JavaScript: The Good Parts, by Douglas Crockford is a necessary read if you're doing anything significant in modern web development. JavaScript is a weird little language and if you don't know best practices, it's very, very easy to get lost. This book will tell you where not to look.
How about yourself, OP?
The DevOps Handbook, Team Geek and Debugging Teams come to mind.
I don't think there is something specifically for "devops managers" (what is that even?). General leadership books would work for you as a manager I suppose. Just keep the principles of DevOps in mind when you do manage away.
