review 1: Sometimes you are fortunate enough to meet and get mentored by some great people who have left an indelible impression on the history of the world. But those kind of opportunities are so far and so little. That is why the biography genre of books is such an exciting category for all the book sellers. But anyone who has read any biography will bet that it takes craft and conviction to write a great biography which will keep the reader hooked.Some biographies just look like a list of events that occurred in the person's life. But this book is such an amazing piece and it is worth the time someone spends on it. It teaches so many things about leadership and does not look to be preachy anywhere. The storytelling way of imparting value education is superbly displayed in this... more book. Each principle of leadership is supported by an anecdote which not only makes this an enjoyable read but also ensures that the reader gets the essence of what the author is talking about. Go for it. You will not be disappointed.
review 2: Colin Powell's book “It Worked For Me” is better then any autobiography he could have done about himself. The book is candid, straight forward, self transparent and filled with humor. Designed around the theme in life and leadership, the book provides a wealth of information based on personal experience about what philosophy worked and did not work for him as he lived his life throughout his military and government service careers.I would recommend this book to anyone aspiring to or currently in any type of leadership role, whether that be in the public or private areas of life. The lessons, principles and concepts express here are applicable to most individuals wanting to be more in everyday life. less
