Book Reviews of Leadership
Book Review: This book in not about LEADERSHIP !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is not about te leadership; it's about on how to keep your head, when all around you are loosing theirs.
As a Polish native I knew Mr. Giuliani only from TV. I did not like the guy so much. I believed his 'persona' is nothing more than that of skillful politician trying to attract voters attention.
The book gave me a new perspective on Mr. Giuliani. I finally found a man that was independent in his decison-making and took the full resposibility for all actions. Hope others cities (not only in US) will be belssed too.
This is the best part of the book that describes Giuliani's leadership:
'... rest of us moved to the next order of business -a strip club that planned to open in Midlanad Beach... Sunny Mindel read from the morning's Staten Island Advance, nothing that the community was lining up against it. A dissenting voice gave the idea of a new club two thumbs up. Deputy Mayr Bob Harding responded with a wisecrack : "Are you sure that was his thumb?" I asked whether the Buildings Department had confirmed whether the club conformed to all applicable buildings codes and permits. The Buildings Department spokesman quoted in the Advance claimed that the city could not do anything until it opened, which I considered ridiculous. I asked JOe Rose, chairman of the City Planning Commission, to discover not only who was listed as the owner but who really owned the place. My years as a prosecutor hat thought me that the name on the paperwork did not always tally with the full story'
Book Review: america's mayor
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book in the business section, and I wonder, is that where it really belongs? I'm not so sure. It's more of a memoir of Giuliani's time as mayor of New York City, sprinkled liberally with his work as a lawyer, arranged around certain principles that Giuliani governs by. With his upcoming bid for the presidency it is a valuable book to read so that you can see his views (liberal Republican) and how he changed NYC from the cesspool it was back into the center of American life that it now is. Great book and it proves, there are Republicans out there worth voting for.Book Review: leadership
Summary: 5 Stars
Giuliani is a worthwhile read. This seller shipped promptly with no fuss. Recommend highly.Book Review: this is not a leadership guide
Summary: 2 Stars
This is not helpful for developing leadership skills. This is a book about management or perhaps just his autobiography. Giuliani dicusses how to manage departments but very little in how to be leader. He never once discusses how he developed future leaders.
The book has some interesting stories but one should look elsewhere for a better guide to developing leadership skills.
