Principled Leadership: In the Face of Change and Crisis
As Mayor Rudy Giuliani began his first mayoral term, he inherited a New York City awash with violence, a crumbling infrastructure and residential flight to the suburbs. A TIME magazine cover story summed up the conditions as “The Rotting of the Big Apple.” TIME put New York City on its cover 10 years later, and thanks in large part to Giuliani, the magazine revisited its assessment of the city by touting it as America’s safest city where economic development thrived and families flocked to live. Just when New Yorkers were beginning to enjoy the city’s revitalization, the unimaginable hit on 9-11. Giuliani swiftly marshaled his remarkable leadership skills to pull his city, and perhaps the entire nation, through the crisis. It was no accident that Giuliani was able to accomplish miracles during those grim days. In this riveting presentation, Giuliani shares the following with his audiences:
· His principles of leadership based on his best-selling book Leadership
· How effective leadership can ultimately lead to profitability
· How to use these seemingly simple principles in your own life to inspire excellence from the team around you
