Lead by example - don't ask someone to do something you wouldn't do.
Allow others to learn and grow - don't refuse to train them or "hoard" job responsibilities

As for books, I hear (but have yet to read) 10 habits of highly effective people is good.

A bit dated, but still relevant.

Might I also suggest asking higher-ups how to get ahead in the company. Let it be known that you would like the opportunity to show your meddle and that you would like to get ahead.

Also, getting your boss promoted is a good way to create a spot for yourself.
