Colin Powell has established an entirely new paradigm for leadership excellence. Through four U.S. presidents and countless world crises — including the current high-stakes campaign against global terror — the blunt-spoken four-star general has grown to become one of the world's most effective, bottom-line leaders.
The Leadership Secrets of Colin Powell goes beyond other books to take an in-depth look into the foundations of Powell's compelling leadership style. With penetrating insight, it examines:
Powell as Provocateur: Techniques Powell uses to encourage group debate — and consistently arrive at the best solution
The Powell Character: The Powell model for assuming the role of leader and setting a positive tone throughout any organization
Powell Principles: Concise yet powerful credos that have guided Powell through times of triumph and doubt
Sparked with insights and observations that are refreshingly honest and realistic, The Leadership Secrets of Colin Powell is the most comprehensive exploration of Colin Powell's goal-driven approach to leadership.
Synopsis:
Describes the leadership principles developed by Secretary of State Colin Powell during his military career, and suggests ways that they can be applied in business, government, and other types of organizations.

WORDS, WISDOM, AND INSIGHTS FROM ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST COMMANDING FIGURES
Inspiration from the man who went from humble beginnings in Harlem to the office of Secretary of State
Colin Powell is the classic American success story. Born in Harlem to immigrant parents, Powell rose through the ranks of the U.S. military to become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a soft-spoken, steel-willed Desert Storm hero. Always seemingly one step ahead of both allies and competitors, he quickly became one of America's most trusted and beloved public icons, acknowledged for his courage, his compassion, and his ability to forge victory under the most trying circumstances.
The Leadership Secrets of Colin Powell recounts Powell's core beliefs on leadership, negotiation, self-knowledge, and more. Based on an article written by Oren Harari after Harari met Powell and heard him speak, an article so compelling that it became the subject of a front-page feature in the Wall Street Journal, this leadership primer reveals the secrets and insights that made Colin Powell the success he is today. Short, snappy, and packed with Powell's depth and spirit, it will help readers inspire anyone to achieve extraordinary performance.

RESPONSIBILITY
"Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off."
