@rmhogervorst Forgive me diving unexpectedly into your mentions but this bit caught my eye: "I'm especially interested in how to make your 'followers' autonomous while still aligning with the overall goals."
While not specifically a book about military leadership, this IS a book written by a US Naval captain about his leadership experiences while on duty, and I found it both fascinating and relevant to leadership skills in my (very non-miltary) job: Turn The Ship Around by David Marquet.
