Today (June 14) is the 245th birthday of the United States Army. On this date in 1775, the Continental Congress authorized enlistment of expert riflemen to serve the United Colonies for one year. Boy, how times have changed!
Nearly eight years ago, one of my mentors, Bill Bates gave me a copy of Colin Powell’s It Worked for Me in Life and Leadership. Powell started in the U.S. Army as a seventeen year-old ROTC cadet and retired as a four-star general, after nearly 40 years of service.
In this book, Powell shares many rich leadership tips. I encourage you to peruse my summary of his work.
