The book Leadership by Rudolph W. Giuliani gives readers lessons regarding what it means to be a leader. Giuliani tells his readers how important it is to be a man of your word. He tells them how to honor their commitments, how important it is to honor your oaths.
All of these things are important. He also tells readers how the leader has to walk the walk and lead by example. In short, not to ask anyone to do something you cannot do yourself. That is the mark of a great leader.
However, according to his own words in the book Leadership, Giuliani is not capable of practicing what he preaches. Instead, it is a matter of do what I say, not what I do.
When one gets married, he makes certain promises. He swears an oath before God, family, and friends. There is a reason witnesses are required to sign the marriage license.
Giuliani tells how his girlfriend was there for him several times. He extols her virtues. There is no virtue in cheating on one’s wife. There is no virtue in one who would help a married man cheat on his wife.
Leadership is not really about how to be a leader, but more about how not to be a leader. We give Leadership no stars.
