It Worked for Me is filled with vivid experiences and lessons
learned that have shaped the legendary public service career of the
four-star general and former Secretary of State Colin Powell. At
its heart are Powell's "Thirteen Rules"--notes he gathered over the
years and that now form the basis of his leadership presentations
given throughout the world. Powell's short but sweet rules--among
them, "Get mad, then get over it" and "Share credit"--are
illustrated by revealing personal stories that introduce and expand
upon his principles for effective leadership: conviction, hard
work, and, above all, respect for others. In work and in life,
Powell writes, "it's about how we touch and are touched by the
people we meet. It's all about the people."
A natural storyteller, Powell offers warm and engaging parables
with wise advice on succeeding in the workplace and beyond. "Trust
your people," he counsels as he delegates presidential briefing
responsibilities to two junior State Department desk officers. "Do
your best--someone is watching," he advises those just starting
out, recalling his own teenage summer job mopping floors in a
soda-bottling factory.
Powell combines the insights he has gained serving in the top
ranks of the military and in four presidential administrations with
the lessons he's learned from his immigrant-family upbringing in
the Bronx, his training in the ROTC, and his growth as an Army
officer. The result is a powerful portrait of a leader who is
reflective, self-effacing, and grateful for the contributions of
everyone he works with.
Colin Powell's It Worked for Me is bound to inspire, move, and
surprise readers. Thoughtful and revealing, it is a brilliant and
original blueprint for leadership.
