"A great American success story. . . . An endearing and well-written book" from one of America's most admired public figures ( The New York Times Book Review ). It Worked for Me is a collection of lessons and personal anecdotes that shaped four star-general and former Secretary of State Colin Powell's legendary career in public service. At its heart are Powell's "Thirteen Rules," -notes he accumulated on his desk that served as the basis for the leadership presentations he delivered throughout the world. Powell's short-but-sweet rules such as "Get mad, then get over it" and "Share credit," are illuminated by revealing personal stories that introduce and expand on his principles for effective leadership: conviction, hard work, and above all, respect for others. A compelling storyteller, Powell shares parables both humorous and solemn that offer wise advice on succeeding in the workplace and beyond. Powell combines the insight he gained serving in the top ranks of the military and in four presidential administrations, as well as the lessons learned from his hardscrabble upbringing in the Bronx and his training in the ROTC. The result is a powerful portrait of a leader who was reflective, self-effacing, and grateful for the contributions of every employee, no matter how junior. Powell's writing-straightforward, accessible, and often very funny-will inspire, move, and surprise readers. Thoughtful and revealing, his book is a brilliant and original blueprint for leadership. "An entertaining read from a charming, accomplished man. . . . A delightful book." - The Washington Times "Inspiring. . . . Powell's straightforward, revealing, often humorous recollections convey sound advice on leadership and life from a man of great achievement." - Booklist "Eloquent." - Los Angeles Times Book Review
