Former New York City Mayor Rudolph ‘Rudy’ Giuliani has been accounted
with guiding New Yorkers, and if fact the entire tri-state area (Fisher,
2005) through the September 11, 2001 (9/11) terrorist attacks on the
City’s World Trade Centre. He became ‘the face on television calming and
consoling the city and nation while organizing the recovery’.
(Schanberg, 2003)
Biography
Most widely known for his calm, courageous, compassionate leadership
during this time (Fisher, 2005), Giuliani in fact has a long history in
law and justice which were a precursor to the 9/11 attacks.
Graduating with honors from Law School, Giuliani began his career with
the US Attorney’s Office as a Federal Prosecutor. He then moved to the
Justice Department to act under Ronald Regan as the Associate Attorney
General, where he supervised the Drug Enforcement Agency, the United
States Marshals Service and other federal law enforcement agencies
(Kopets, 2003).
Following this, Giuliani spent six years as the US Attorney for the
Southern District of New York, which led to him to ascend to Mayorship
in 1993. He held the Mayoral position for eight years, and was
responsible for a city of 8 million. He cut crime by two thirds, moved
691,000 off the welfare rolls, boosted property values and took on the
city’s ‘mob’ head on. (Pooley, 2001)
However, people were tired of his Vesuvian temper and constant battles –
against his political enemies, against some of his own appointees,
against the media and city funded museums, against black leaders, street
vendors and jay walkers. (Pooley, 2001)
An example of this is when he fired former Police Commissioner William
Bratton because some believed the top officer overshadowed him in
battling crime. Those associated with him joked “the connected get
protected", and surmised that anytime anyone in the city looked to blow
the whistle about Giuliani, he made them a target, so much so that his
associates became reluctant to say anything about his style until after
his reign (Gamerman, 2004). This coercive power, generated through his
ability to ‘punish’ for non compliance, is limited in essence, and
Giuliani’s initial popularity was diminishing. (Dalglish, Dubrin &
Miller, 2006, p.209)
However, his popularity peaked again as he fought and won a battle
against prostate cancer, which he attributes to giving him ‘more wisdom
about the importance of life, the lack of control you have over death’
and removed some of the fear he had of death (Pooley, 2001). However,
this was only the start of Giuliani’s challenges, and within a year he
would be faced with the toughest test which could be placed onto a
Mayor; that of the terrorist attack initiated by Bin Laden on the World
Trade Centre Twin Towers.
Giuliani won the respect of many American’s as well as great political
leaders including Vladimir Putin, Nelson Mandela, and Tony Blair,
through his crisis management skills. Jacque Chirac named him ‘Rudy the
Rock’ (Pooley, 2001). (Schanberg, 2003 states “He was a crisis mayor,
near brilliant in convulsive events, such as terrorist attacks.” The
contingency theory of power suggests that these leaders would have been
drawn to Giuliani’s perceived power, which was developed through his
centrality to the crisis. He was integral in the rescue effort
(physically and emotionally) and developed a high degree of power
through this interaction.
However, not all American’s were as supportive of his leadership style.
Perhaps tainted by grief, the minority made comments such as. "Three
thousand people murdered does not mean leadership." (Mittelstadt, 2004)
