Leadership Lessons According to Colin Powell

Being responsible sometimes means pissingpeople off.The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems

is the day you have stopped leading them. Theyhave either lost confidence that you can helpthem or concluded that you do not care. Eithercase is a failure of leadership.Dont be buffaloed by experts and elites. Experts

often possess more data than judgment. Elitescan become so inbred that they producehemophiliacs who bleed to death as soon as theyare nicked by the real world.

Dont be afraid to challenge the pros, even in theirown backyard.


13/15

Never neglect details. When everyones mind isdulled or distracted the leader must be doublyvigilant.You dont know what you can get away with until

you have tried.Keep looking below surface appearances. Dont

shrink from doing so (just) because you might notlike what you find.Organization doesnt really accomplish anything.

Plans dont accomplish anything, either. Theoriesof management dont much matter. Endeavorssucceed or fall because of the people involved.Only by attracting the best people will youaccomplish great deeds.Organization charts and fancy titles count for next

to nothing.


14/15

Never let your ego get so close to your positionthat when your position goes, your ego goes withit.Fit no stereotypes. Dont chase the latest

management fads. The situation dictates whichapproach will best accomplish the teams mission.Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.Powells Rules for Picking People---Look for

intelligence and judgment and, most critically, acapacity to anticipate, to see around corners.Also look for loyalty0, integrity, high-energy drive,a balanced ego and the drive to get things done.Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers

who can cut through the argument, debate anddoubt, to offer a solution everybody canunderstand.


15/15

Part I: Use the formula P=40 to 70, in which Pstands for probability of success and numbersindicate the percentage of information required.Part II: Once the information is in the 40 and 70range, go with your gut.The commander in the field is always right and

rear echelon is wrong, unless advised otherwise.Have fun in your command. Dont always run at a

breakneck pace. Take leave when youve earnedit. Spend time with your families. Corollary:Surround yourself with people who take their workseriously, but not themselves, those who workhard and play hard.

Command is lonely.
