"The Art of War" by Sun Tsu.
"a Chinese military treatise written during the 6th century BC by Sun Tzu. Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, it has long been praised as the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time.
The Art of War is one of the oldest and most famous studies of strategy and has had a huge influence on both military planning and beyond. First translated into a European language in 1782 by French Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot, it had been credited with influencing Napoleon, the German General Staff, and even the planning of Operation Desert Storm. Leaders as diverse as Mao Zedong, Vo Nguyen Giap, and General Douglas MacArthur have claimed to have drawn inspiration from the work.
Since the late 20th century, The Art of War has also been applied, with much success, to business and managerial strategies."

How about books written by the leaders (and/or thinkers) of yesterday? This way, they can be like the leaders they think are good and not be like the bad ones.
