Excellent read from Gen. Powell... some good tips / insights from moments in his life. I'm biased because Colin is one of my favorite leaders but I think anyone can pick up a thing or two from his thoughts. He gives some lessons he took from various points in his life (so it's not just when he became more of a public figure) and mixes it with some personal preferences.

It's a relatively short book which I think is perfect... long enough you feel like you come away with something but not so long you feel things are just being repeated over and over or dragging you into the land of "what is the point of this section???"

I bought the audiobook because Colin is the one reading it... what's better than reading a book by Powell? Him reading it for you. He does a good job with the reading.

I highly recommend it.
