I just finished the 'leadership' classic 'The Prince.'
Machiavelli wrote this some 500 years ago in the context of Middle Ages rulers and their leadership. So some of the quotes are far from what a business man or contemporary leader would adhere to but the principles are still very relevant.
Some quotes...
"He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command."
"Never was anything great achieved without danger."
"The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him."
The Prince being just a little more than 100 pages is well worth the short investment of time
