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.
