I am trying to find more good books to read the focus on general leadership philosophies and development. So far I have read Sun Tzu's Art of War, and a few others, and really enjoyed some of the philosophies and strategies/ seeing how they correlate with modern society. It amazes me how even through so many centuries, there are philosophies of leadership that are still prevalent and relevant today

Sun Tzu - The Art of War.. followed extremely closely by the NCO Creed. The creed is not a book but infinitely applicable.

Read Art of War. Definitely one of my favorites in this field. And I agree with the creed

"The Peter Principle", the eponymous law Laurence Peter coined, explains that "in a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence."

The Meditations. Marcus Aurelius. One of the best books on the philosophy of leadership and life in general.
