Leadership (Lib)

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 shows how he found that every aspect of his career up to that point shaped his thinking about leadership and prepared him for the daunting challenges ahead. Giuliani tells captivating stories that are personal as well as prescriptive: how he learned the importance of staying calm in the face of attack; how the love of reading grew into a determination to master new subjects; how he learned to make decisions at the right time and with the right information in his recent fight with prostate cancer. He never knew that the qualities he describes would be put to the awful test of September 11, but he never doubted that they would prevail.
