Brilliant business move. If you’re the CEO, and you want to talk to a bunch of yes-men or people with agendas, you can go to the suits. If you want to know what’s going on down in the trenches, you go to the factory floor and talk to the folks doing the work to keep things rolling.
I would imagine the same holds true in the military?
Good management technique, Back in the day it was called MBWA, management by walking around. A good CEO would be out of the floor. talking to people in their cubicles or at their work stations, get the view from the ground up. I have no doubt Trump would do this, it sounds just like him. and I don’t doubt the brass would get their noses out of joint when he did it.
Only if your officers are $hitbirds.
