Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-93), and Secretary of State (2001-05) Colin Powell discusses personal life lessons in leadership, management and making difficult decisions. The cornerstone of this collection of anecdotes is the now infamous “Thirteen Rules” which include rules such as “It can be done” and “Be careful what you choose: You may get it.” This is not a memoir, although it includes many personal stories from Powell’s life. He discusses many controversial aspects of his career to include his controversial 2003 testimony to the United Nations asking for support for the invasion of Iraq. Overall, It Worked for Me is a captivating, honest and thoughtful book by one of the nation’s most prominent leaders.
**Note: The audiobook is narrated by Colin Powell in its entirety.
It looks like I found my next audiobook.
