The Right Kind of Crazy

Not your run-of-the-mill leadership book, this one was highly entertaining (though I'm not sure how much of that was intentional). The author/protagonist is a somewhat egoistic engineer with a free spirit and loads of self-assurance. He ends up at JPL and involved in some pretty gnarly, rocket sciencey projects, which he takes charge of because... well, you'll see. The point is that there's definitely some good leadership material here, some fascinating insights into JPL and NASA, and quite an amusing, introspective perspective from a guy who is at least trying to do a better job leading people to a bigger truth than themselves. I'd recommend it.
