After watching Jack Dorsey's Startup School video[1], I thought about what are some of good books to read on leadership.

What are some of the leadership books that inspired you or strongly suggest to read?

How to Win Friends and Influence People (but buy an edition printed before Carnegie died; more recent versions have been rewritten by other people)

Great book. There's also a good BBC interview with Warren Buffett talking about the original Dale Carnegie courses.

"Bismarck: A Life" by J. Steinberg. An object lesson in overweening use of power and personality. But lessons for effective leadership nevertheless.

"The Score takes Care of Itself" - Bill Walsh

Jack Dorsey talked about it in Startup School and I highly recommend it as well.

Herbert Simon's Models of My Life is in general interesting and has some very good sections on leadership, mostly in the research and academic world. I don't know that I would call it inspiring.
