The Powell Principles

I have just ordered Colin Powell's book 'The Powell Principles'...

The Powell Principles details the decision-making habits, success strategies, and leadership philosophies of Secretary of State Colin Powell. Filled with insights that are as refreshingly honest as they are grittily real, this concise, no-nonsense book reveals the keys to Powell's unprecedented success, keys that include:
  • Walk the talk
  • Be a dis-organizer
  • Let change lead growth
  • Be prepared to piss people off
  • Check your ego at the door
  • Push the envelope
  • Let situation dictate strategy
  • Challenge the pros
  • Trust those in the trenches
  • Prepare to be lonely

I look forward to the read!

other books i am currently reading:
  • Axiom - Bill Hybells
  • The Shack - William P. Young
  • The Essay Collection - C S Lewis
