I will take a stab at this one.

Personally, I started by reading Ansible: Up and Running but I would also take a look at Ansible for DevOps: Server and configuration management for humans by /u/geerlingguy who is very active in the community and keeps the book up to date.

I don't think I ever actually finished even half of the book though. It pointed me in the right direction and Ansible was easy enough that I just started creating my first Playbooks and haven't turned back since.

If your company is willing to sponsor training take a look at the relatively new Automation with Ansible course (DO407) which is the official training for the Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Ansible Automation. I've been running through the Lab guide lately and have been really happy with it so far.
