In one dimension we have a rags to riches tale of a kid, NYC-born-and-raised, who through hard work and determination ascended to the highest ranks of his profession while never forgetting his roots. On another plane we have a love story the tale of a man and his struggle to protect the citizens of the city he loved, while nurturing and advocating for the co-workers he loved, yet never shirking his responsibilities as a loving husband, father and grandfather. Finally, we are presented with a management primer a how to manual for simultaneously achieving maximum results in productivity and the highest levels of respect and admiration from the personnel under ones command.
