Rudolph Giuliani ist ein Star. Der Ex-Bürgermeister von New York wurde Ende letzten Jahres vom Time Magazine zum "Mann des Jahres" gewählt - nur eine von zahlreichen Ehrungen. Sein Buch Leadership ist eine leicht lesbare Gesamtschau seines Führungsstils, der von Geradlinigkeit, Teamwork, Loyalität und all denjenigen Tugenden geprägt ist, die für die Bewältigung der Katastrophe des 11. September 2001 am dringendsten gebraucht wurden. Giuliani widmet das erste und letzte Kapitel seinem ganz persönlichen Augenzeugenbericht der Terroranschläge. Gleichwohl bezieht sich das Buch v. a. auf seine Führungsleistung vor dieser nationalen Katastrophe. Der 11. September war dann die härteste Bewährungsprobe für seine Führungsmaximen. Das Buch hat, wie viele Führungsbücher, eine sehr persönliche Note. Keine Lektüre über Führung sollte als allgemein gültiges Rezeptheft missverstanden werden. Auch dieses Buch entfaltet seine Wirkung v. a. als Motivationskick. Dazu trägt auch der lockere Plauderton bei, der jedoch manchmal der Grenze zum Nationalpathos und zur Selbstbeweihräucherung bedenklich nahe kommt. getAbstract empfiehlt dieses Buch allen, die sich mit Hilfe von Giulianis Tipps zu besseren Führungspersönlichkeiten entwickeln und ihre Ziele auch in Krisen fest im Blick behalten wollen
With an Introduction by Rudolph Guiliani During our nation's most trying times, it has been Life that has provided the images that help us understand, remember, and in the process, renew. Now the editors of Life have assembled a moving, brilliantly illustrated account of tragedy and triumph. This is about firemen going in amidst the rubble, but it is also about a Frenchman in Paris holding up a sign that says, "We are all Americans." This is about our leaders taking charge, but it is also about schoolchildren in Iowa hanging an American flag on a tree in their backyard. Beginning with the history of lower Manhattan, the book explains what happened on September 11, profiles many of the heroes, victims and rescuers (fireman, police, doctors, and rescue dogs among them), and paints an inspiring portrait if a nation and world coming together in sadness, pride and resolve.The book is more than photographs. Explanatory text runs throughout, and the book also includes a selection of original essays about America and September 11, written by such notables as Maya Angelou, Thomas Keneally ( Schindler's List ), Stephen Ambrose, Melissa Fay Greene ( The Temple Bombing ), Andrei Codrescu, Gordon Parks, Doug Stanton ( In Harm's Way ), Bob Greene ( Duty ), James Bradley ( Flags of Our Fathers ), and others. Ten percent of the cover price of this book will be donated to the September 11th Fund of the New York Community Trust and the United Way of New York City. The purpose of this fund is to help address the immediate and longer-term needs of victims, their families, and communities affected by the events of September 11, 2001.
