Gingrich was a major leader in the Republican victory in the 1994 congressional election. In 1995, Time named him "Man of the Year" for "his role in ending the four-decades-long Democratic majority in the House". While he was House speaker, the House enacted welfare reform, passed a capital gains tax cut in 1997, and in 1998 passed the first balanced budget since 1969. The poor showing by Republicans in the 1998 Congressional election and pressure from Republican colleagues caused Gingrich's resignation from the speakership on November 6, 1998 and then the House on January 3, 1999. Since leaving the House, Gingrich has founded and chaired several policy think tanks, including American Solutions for Winning the Future and the Center for Health Transformation. He has written or co-authored 27 books. More
New York: Hyperion, 2002. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xvii, [1], 407, [5] pages. Inscribed to Ben by the author on the title page. Includes Preface, Appendices, Acknowledgments, and Index. In detailing his principles of leadership, Giuliani tells captivating stories that are personal as well as prescriptive: how he learned the importance of staying calm in the face of attack from his father's boxing lessons--as well as the need to stand up to bullies; how a love of reading was early instilled in him by his mother and grew into a determination to master new subjects, and not rely only on the word of experts; how, in his recent fight with prostate cancer, learning to make decisions at the right time and with the right information reflected decision-making on a larger scale. Leadership, Giuliani writes, is a privilege, but it carries responsibilities--from imposing a structure suitable to an organization's purpose, to forming a team of people who bring out the best in each other, to taking the right, unexpected risks. A leader must develop strong beliefs, articulate and act on those beliefs, and be held accountable for the results. Leadership (published October 1, 2002) is a book written by Rudolph W. Giuliani with Ken Kurson about Giuliani's time as Mayor of New York City and how he reduced crime, and revitalized the economy of the city. Most of the book was written before the September 11, 2001 attacks, though Giuliani did include a section about his experiences that day and how he dealt with the emergency and the cleanup afterwards.

The objective of this annual gathering is to provide a forum for information exchange and debate regarding the complete range of possible urban challenges likely to confront the military over the next generation. This work summarizes the proceedings of the fourth annual Urban Operations Conference co-hosted by RAND Arroyo Center and representatives of the Army and Marine Corps. The goal of this conference was not just to simply inform the audience of the challenges inherent during urban contingencies but to actually find solutions to selected problems of notable current relevancy. Speakers were to be given problems to which solutions are sought rather than topics on which to speak, and the format was to provide significantly more time for audience discussion of issues with speakers.
