Since you work for a software company, I would suggest The Mythical Man-Month and the Psychology of Computer Programming.

Yongsheng:

For working with people I always recommend: Servant-Leadership (Greenleaf) & The Human Side of Enterprise (McGregor).

I'd also add:
The Happiness Advantage (Hsieh)
The Lean Startup (Ries)
The Mythical Man-Month (Brooks) - Good call, Stéphane!
Critical Chain (Goldratt)
How NASA builds teams (Pellerin)
How to win friends and influence people (Carnegie)
Start with Why (Sinek)

And since you are in IT, User Story Mapping by Jeff Patton.

That should keep you busy for a while :-)

What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.
