Dump all your old business books and pick up "Good to Great," by Jim Collins. Best take on what makes a successful organization I've read in a decade.
I also read William Manchester's "American Caesar" (MacArthur's life story) over the Christmas holiday. Very book biography.

Years ago I found Manchester's autobiography of his service in Pacific theatre of WWII fascinating--Goodbye, Darkness

Everything Manchester wrote was excellent.

I highly recommend his bio of Churchill, "The Last Lion."
