IT WORKED FOR ME - COLIN L POWELL TONY KOLTZ GE...

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.
