I'd start off with Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. I'd also suggest Greenleaf's Servant-Leadership and Daniel Pink's Drive. For negotiation, Getting to Yes, and Getting past No are two good options. And General Stanley McChrystal's Team of Teams is a really good overall book on the topic.
