Great leaders in every walk of life love to learn. Learning something new keeps them motivated.
Learning brings meaning to adversity, allowing leaders to brush themselves off and to try again with better results. Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is no different. In fact, during the week of the 911 terrorist attacks, the biography of another great leader–Winston Churchill–was lying on Giuliani’s nightstand. He was learning the traits of leaders who went before him.
He often asked, “How can we do things better?” Violent crime in New York City dropped nearly 70
percent on Giuliani’s watch because he asked that question and demanded answers. He studied and finally embraced a theory of crime reduction called “the broken windows theory.” The theory holds that relatively minor crimes, like vandalism and graffiti, result in a deterioration of neighborhoods and increasingly serious problems. Mayor Giuliani’s idea of preventing smaller crimes, however, was met with skepticism and an “it can’t be done” attitude. Giuliani would not accept it. As a former prosecutor, he applied his analytical skills to conduct his research.
Learning about a new theory and refusing to accept the status quo formed the basis of his crime-fighting efforts. His learning paid off.

各行各業的偉大領導者都喜歡學習。學習新事物會讓他們保持積極性。 學習為逆境帶來意義,使領導者能夠擺脫困境並再次嘗試取得更好的結果。前紐約市市長魯道夫朱利安尼也不例外。事實上,在 911 恐怖襲擊發生的那一周,朱利安尼的床頭櫃上放著另一位偉大領袖溫斯頓丘吉爾的傳記。他正在學習前任領導人的特質。 他經常問,“我們怎樣才能把事情做得更好?”紐約市暴力犯罪率下降近 70 百分比在朱利安尼的手錶上,因為他提出了那個問題並要求得到答案。他研究並最終接受了一種叫做“破窗理論”的減少犯罪理論。該理論認為,相對輕微的犯罪,如故意破壞和塗鴉,會導致社區惡化和日益嚴重的問題。然而,朱利安尼市長關於防止較小犯罪的想法遭到了質疑和“不可能做到”的態度。朱利安尼不會接受的。作為前檢察官,他運用自己的分析能力進行研究。 學習新理論和拒絕接受現狀構成了他打擊犯罪努力的基礎。他的學習得到了回報。
