The Powell Principles: 24 Lessons from Colin Powell, A Legendary Leader (The McGraw-Hill Professional Education Series) Paperback – December 27, 2002

I found the book to be easily read and understood. I used it to write a comparison contrast paper; referencing my leadership style with what I learned of Colin Powell's principles. I was pleasantly surprised of the similarities although we have been engaged in vastly different employment scenarios.Colin Powell's principles are interesting. They are simple and follow ethical guidelines. I admire his outlooks. I generally have practiced similar work ethics and supervisory guidelines prior to learning his. However, I look forward to incorporating the principles I had not been utilizing.The service of Amazon was right on the money as well. The purchase was delivered as promised without any "issues".

I heard General Powell at a conference. I was impressed with his humor and honored to be in the room with such a great leader. I bought this book to follow up some of the things I heard him talk about. This book is on point. Very informative and concise.

A good reminder of solid leadership and helpful advice for aspiring leaders from one who has led in multiple contexts.

Great Read!

This book is great for identifying key success factors in effective leadership. Each principle stands on its own and is laced with Powell's experience in many different venues. It is not about the Military, Government, Non-profits or any one specific area. It is about effective leadership in a very direct and common sense format. Highly recommended.

Quick read. Concise principles. Well edited layout. Condition was as described

I was really surprised by the book. I started to read and I could not stop it. I had to put aside a book that was already reading to get inside Powell's Principles. Powell touches the core values that a true leader should bear and need to be concerned. Values that the big coorporations leaders have forgotten while focusing into burocreacy and how to satisfy solely their own management system. Forgetting about how to lead people.I would recommend the book to anyone who wants to perfect his leadership skills.

I am a fan of Colin Powell and his leadership style. This book allowed me to get an idea of his leadership style and the principles behind them. It reinforced my belief that he is transparent in his views and actions. If you are looking for radical ideas this may not be the book for you and I don't mean that in a derogatory way. Mr. Powell believes in treating people, like people.
