Colin Powell, one of America's most admired leaders πΊπΈ, shares the unique lessons that shaped his life and legendary career.
It Worked for Me is a powerful collection of insights and personal stories that guided the four-star general and former Secretary of State. Central to the book are Powell's "Thirteen Rules" βοΈβprinciples he kept on his desk and shared worldwide in leadership talks.
Powell's memorable rules, like "Get mad, then get over it" π€ and "Share credit" π, come to life through engaging anecdotes. He emphasizes conviction, hard work πͺ, and above all, respect for others β€οΈ. "It's the human gesture that counts," he writes.
A gifted storyteller, Powell offers both humorous and heartfelt advice for success in any field π―. He encourages trusting your team π€, doing your best because "someone is watching" π, and learning from every experience. Drawing from his military service πͺ, work in four presidential administrations, and upbringing in the Bronx ποΈ, Powell provides a reflective, humble, and grateful perspective on leadership.
His writing is direct, engaging, and often witty πβinspiring and surprising readers at every turn. This book is an original and brilliant blueprint for anyone aiming to lead with impact π.
