Publisher's Note New York City's "mayor of the world" describes the dynamic management, decision-making, and leadership skills that made him a success as a prosecutor and as mayor of New York City and explains how these principles helped him cope with the day-to-day running of a city, budget and human issues, and the catastrophic events of September 11, 2001.
Industry Reviews "[A] confident, dynamic primer on basic business ethics and grace under pressure.... The candor and decisiveness he describes here leave no doubt why LEADERSHIP warrants its title....A testimonial to heroism from someone who has first-hand knowledge of what it takes" New York Times - Janet Maslin (10/03/2002)
"We have here, in the main, a softer Rudy than the mayor New Yorkers knew for eight years, a man eternally in search of enemies and at war with inner demons....Giuliani's prose, with help from Ken Kurson, a financial writer and editor, is sturdy and leavened with flashes of wry wit...." New York Times Book Review (10/13/2002)
