Audie Prize Nominee, Personal Development, 2013 It Worked for Me is filled up with vivid experience and lessons discovered that have molded the legendary profession of the four-star standard and ex - Secretary of Talk about Colin Powell. At its heart and soul are Powell's "Thirteen Guidelines" - such as "Get mad, then get over it" and "Share credit" - that introduce his rules for effective authority: conviction, hard work, and, above all, respect for others. An all natural storyteller, Powell offers warm and interesting parables with smart advice on succeeding in the workplace and beyond. "Trust your people," he counsels as he delegates presidential briefing responsibilities to two junior STATE DEPT. desk officers. "Do your very best - someone is watching," he advises those just starting out, recalling his own teenage job mopping floor surfaces in a manufacturer. Powell combines the insight he gained in the armed service and four presidential administrations with lessons from his immigrant-family upbringing in the Bronx and his training in the ROTC. The result is a robust portrait of any leader who's reflective, self-effacing, and thankful for everyone he works together with. An excellent and original blueprint for authority, Colin Powell's It Worked for Me will encourage, move, and surprise readers. Includes an interview with the writer.
