LeadershipFrom the Back Cover: Writing in his familiar voice, Rudolph Giuliani demonstrates in Leadership how the leadership skills he practices can be employed successfully by anyone who has to run anything. Giuliani's management skills have proven to be outstanding through his two terms as mayor of New York City and his years in the U.S. Justice Department. And on September 11, 2001, Giuliani emerged as America's steadiest hand, leading the city and the nation through the worst domestic disaster in our history. Whether dealing with a catastrophe or handling complicated human issues or assembling a brilliant team, Giuliani has relied on a systematic and methodical approach that can work for any manager. Leadership, Giuliani writes, works both ways: it is a privilege, but it carries responsibilities-from imposing a structure suitable to an organization's purpose, to forming a team of people who bring out the best in each other, to taking the right risks. Refreshingly honest, full of powerful stories and compelling examples, Leadership is Giuliani's own guide to the essential principles that have sustained him throughout his extraordinary career. |
