Are you elected official and searching for a role model? Rudy Giuliani is an example of a mayor who enacted policies that benefited the whole community by creating jobs, cutting crime, and taxes. Watch this short video to see Giuliani's vision on leadership.
His main points are:
- Leaders are made by studying and listening to good role models
- Learn as much about your business as possible
- The most effective test of good leader-people who work for you come to you for advice
Some of Giuliani's accomplishments are:
- Crime went down 57%
- Murder was reduced by 65%
- New York City was recognized by the FBI as the safest large city in America for over five years
- Implemented the largest and more successful welfare-to-work programs (cut welfare rolls in half-640,000 people off of government programs)
- $2.5 billion tax reductions resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars that were returned to the private sector
- Turned $2.3 billion deficit into a multi-billion dollar surplus
- 45,000 new private sector jobs and higher tourism
What leadership techniques did Giuliani use that you can apply? Why do you think he was an effective leader? Why wasn't he an effective leader?
