Leadership/Management books

What are some of the most influential you’ve read?
I’m also looking for books that perhaps weren’t intended to serve as leadership/management books, but the concepts are directly applicable.
None of the following have the words leadership or management in the title, but for me, they meet the criteria of the topic:
Thomas Sowell’s Knowledge and Decisions Richard Thaler’s Nudge
Dan Ariely’s Predictably Irrational
Nassim Taleb’s Fooled By Randomness

Have I got a book for you. The Leader's Bookshelf by Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret.) and R. Manning Ancell. If nothing else, this book will help you choose which books you want to read in full -- but otherwise you will get the gist of a highly vetted list of books pertaining to leadership from interviews of four star officers in the military. The list is quite diverse.
EDIT:
To answer your question, I last read Turn the Ship Around! by L. David Marquet, Captain, USN (Ret.). This was an excellent read and I found very applicable to my own work.

I really enjoyed Rumsfeld’s Rules. Very practical tips on leadership and management.

Just read Creativity Inc. about PIXAR's process and management principles. It was pretty good.

I cannot recommend books that were not intended to be used as leadership books. I can recommend Dare To Lead and Extreme Ownership are excellent books. But also, I can advise you to read some examples of essays about leadership, because people write about real events and great examples of real leaders. For me personally, such writings mean more than books, because what is happening in them is here and now and it inspires.

Most influential:
-7 Habits
-True North
-Who Moved My Cheese
-12 rules for life
All have helped me in both my professional and personal life.

- How to Win Friends and Influence People
- 7 Habits
- Good to Great
- Art of War
- Emotional Intelligence
I think these fit your criteria of ones that do talk about leadership, and have principles that apply, though are largely about the greater context and examples of putting these concepts into practice to improve yourself and communication style. From there, those concepts can be used to lead people more effectively.

A lot of good suggestions. Here are some others. A lot of these kind of stray into either organizational leadership or self-help, but they've all informed my professional practice as an organizational leader:
The Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge is another good.
Start with Why by Simon Sinek
Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek
The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek
Drive by Daniel Pink
Master your Code by Darren Gold
The Culture Code by Daniel Coyle
Upstream by Dan Heath
The Power of Moments by Dan Heath
Mindset by Carol Dweck
