Oooh, second Bad Blood. What about Mountains beyond Mountains? I like reading autobiographies and would recommend Shoe Dog (Phil knight) and Open (Andre Agassi).

John Keegan's Mask of Command is good if you're interested in in military history.

Isn't there a book discussion forum?

I like to read case studies of people in leadership roles performing extraordinarily.

I have the opportunity to get some free books of my choice about leadership. I don't like self help books or highly effective people style books. But I can choose books such as The Boys in the Boat, nonfiction books that have an element of great leadership.

I need suggestions!
