Powell’s Rules for Recruiting and Promoting
Powell advises leaders to hire, place, and promote talented individuals with the following qualities:

Look for intelligence and judgement
and, most critically, a capacity
to anticipate, to see around corners.
Also look for loyalty, integrity, a high energy
drive, a balanced ego and the drive
to get things done.
