a book named : one minute manager

Reframing Organizations : Artistry , Chioce and Leadership , by : Lee G Bolman

Leadership : Theory and Practice , by : Peter G Northouse

All these books mentioned here are good but we keep forgetting the classics , i believe the best all rounded leadership book is THE ART OF WAR. its laws if converted into the business world will never fail you and it's wisdom is overwhelming

I agree with the answers here and suggest below reads:

- The One Minute Manager

- The First-Time Manager 

 

well there is a long list of books but the best is on hand practical experience to face challenges and reaching your goals along with your team.
