Sweet Job Tips: Colin Powell on Good Corporate Leadership

Here is another great video clip from Colin Powell on the definition of good corporate leadership. The clip is just shy of 4 minutes. As usual he is sharing some great common sense advice.

Enjoy and share,

Eleanor

Also make sure you download your copy of "My Thirteen Rules" by Colin Powell.

CLICK HERE FOR YOUR COPY OF "MY THIRTEEN RULES"

I had the privilege to listen to Colin again in person in July at the Union Club of Chicago through Kellogg. He was sharing some of his insights from his experience in life that he also shares in his new book.  I always find him to be a down to earth common sense type of guy.

The "Thirteen Rules" first appeared in Parade in August of 1989.

For more in depth information on this list, I suggest you read It Worked For Me - In Life and Leadership by Colin Powell. This book was recently released in Spring of this year.

I will find my picture from the meeting and post that shortly.
