I worked with my organization's leadership development team for the past few years, here are two recommendations to get you started:
the leadership challenge by kouzes and posner (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008DM2MK8) - the canonical book on business leadership, well worth the investment. it's research-driven and full of case studies and examples; many MBA programs will teach an entire semester on this bad boy. not much to say here that isn't in the reviews.
it's okay to be the boss by bruce tulgan (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0061121363) - if the leadership challenge feels a little too high-brow or abstract ('transformational vs. transactional,' in leadership jargon), this little book can scratch the itch for tactical management tips. tulgan can seem a bit directive and simplistic at times, and his advice may not fit with every organizational culture, but he's a savvy student of organizational leadership, and a quick read.
leadership, especially in a remote environment, isn't trivial - congratulations on being willing to invest in this skill. best of luck.
