I gotta point at It's Your Ship. Good enough that it's recommended outside of the military.
Seconding Gates of Fire too
It's Your Ship
Best book on leadership I ever read. Applies to any job field.
It was written by a US Navy captain who took command of demoralized destroyer crew and turned it into the top performing ship in the entire Navy. It's an easy and entertaining read as it's written about his experience about the problems he faced (such as female integration in combat ships beside aircraft carriers). It's not a text or lecture about how to do things. Excellent book. Everyone should read it, even if you're not in a leadership role.
The CO is always ultimately responsible for his ship. He selected and approved the officers on watch, he (tacitly) approved training and certification of the other watchstanders. He approved of his bridge and CIC crew enough to leave the bridge and go to sleep.
This is accountability. It's the epitome of leadership, and absolutely necessary to make an organization run effectively.
I highly recommend this book if you can find it. (I'm biased - Professor Montor was my leadership instructor). Otherwise It's Your Ship is an exceptional book on leadership.
Maxwell's Leadership book is also an excellent read & resource
If you want to dig up books on your own, be careful to differentiate "leadership" from "management."
