T Rex accomplished the task PT gave him. Just as POTUS ran his campaign to become POTUS, he uses the same strategy now. Choose the best to get something accomplished, move forward to the next step, disengage and choose another who would be best in that field. Once accomplished - rinse and repeat. This is possibly his greatest attribute: Knowing who would be the best person possible to get the job done. Increments, steps to the goal line. One plateau reached successfully and continue to the next.
Compare this to dance. We view DJT dance steps. He created his dance. His moves, timing, pattern and style. May not be a Fred Astaire, but more of a Busby Berkeley.
T Rex will be missed. It’s not often we have such a large personality on our team.
Yes, you nailed it. The responsibility is too great to have people hang around longer than they are needed.
I went back into Midas Touch, the book written jointly by Trump and Robert Kiyosaki.
And deep into the book Trump does talk about working with employees, partners, and making deals.
He says hiring employee is hit and miss. Someone you think has great qualifications is no good, but someone without is often "terrific". So you need to give the person a challenge and see what happens.
And then he wrote something very insightful:
I prefer doing deals with other people, but not having partnerships because they are too complicated and can eventually go bad. Deals are easier. You still have the relationship, but not the full baggage that a full partnership eventually requires.
Partnerships are like marriage. They can be wonderful, or terrible. If you can, stick to doing deals with people you like and trust. Then you can move on from there to your next deal.
