One of Booklist's Top 10 Business Books of 2002 and a BusinessWeek, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today business bestseller

"Management professor Oren Harari adopts Colin Powell's rise into the upper ranks of American power as a model for decision makers in the private sector. Harari hails Powell's character as the essence of a host of supple executive virtues, from defining and defending rational objectives to playing the provocateur against outdated modes of boardroom thinking."--The Washington Post

"Powell appears to be a natural born leader with an intuitive sense of strategy for advancement in war and politics. For those of us who are not so lucky to have such diplomacy inherently, Harari's book can teach us how to lead effectively following Powell's example."--USA Today

"This is a 'battle-tested' leadership book and although the author has shown how to apply these principles in the corporate venue, you don't have to be a CEO to benefit from the words and wisdom of Colin Powell."--Booklist

Book is a gem on leadership secrets and I am sure will read multiple times. My manager recommended this book to me during my annual focal point review and glad he did it. I loved every chapter and laying down the fundamental principles of leadership with practical simple and real world examples and situations. It should be a must read for everyone in the organization. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone and plan to practice the principles in everyday life.

Excellent packaging and fast delivery
This book has been both more and less than I thought it would be. The insights of Powell are great kernels of ways to live our lives and not just for the generals of the world. What's missing is the thought process that goes into when to buck the system to change it, other than waiting until you're in charge. I will soon see the effects of his advice when implemented at a lower level.

During one of the most crucial times in American History, the nation turned towards the leadership of G.W. and his appointed officials, one of them being Colin Powell. Powell a true American who served in Vietnam, knew what it took to accomplish the mission against terrorism. Great book for leaders in any profession.

I like this book because it has a message in it that persistence pays off. I shared this book with a friend and purchased another one for me. It's good to read about the ups and downs of famous people. It's helps you to know that they had to struggle to get where they got and we should do no less if we want to move where we want to be.
