Hello Paul,
Here’s a suggestion that I didn’t find on your interesting list:
Blue Ocean Strategy by Renée Mauborgne and W. Chan Kim.

May I humbly suggest you try ‘Sex, Leadership and Rock’n'Roll - an unusual read on creativity, innovation and the role of leadership in creating a climate where ideas are business as usual.
The book is acclaimed by Tom Peters, who said:
“None would doubt that we live in a Rock’n'Roll Age — so what makes more sense than a brilliant, original, rockin’ Rock’n'Roll model of business
management and leadership? Sex, Leadership and Rock ‘n’ Roll is a marvellous book, which closes the door on the tidy, hierarchical, know-your-place ‘Orchestral Age’ and ushers in a new, creative era of challenge and change. Hooray!”
Michael O’Leary, CEO of Ryanair said in his characteristic dry wit:
“Just what the World needs - another business book! Hope it sells by the lorry load!”
