I totally agree with you on "be as proactive as you can be at your current job."
That's a great way to grow in a leadership position.

Extreme ownership is an important concept that everyone should learn about. You need to take responsibility, be accountable and work harder than anyone else. In this way, leadership responsibilities will come to you instead of the opposite way.

Some of the books that I love in Leadership are Extreme Ownership, The Dichotomy of Leadership and Leadership Tactics and Strategies (all of them from the retired US Navy Seal called Jocko Willink). I am also reading Make Your Bed, The Effective Executive and High Output Management (a classic!).
