I have hired many people at all levels of management from hourly employees to division presidents of large corporations.

I have overseen business startups of 4-5 people that grew into thriving businesses with hundreds of millions of dollars in sales and strong market share positions.

I have also successfully executed turnarounds of mature struggling businesses gy finding and hiring talented creative people, and superb managers who developed innovative products which added sales in existing markets and opened new markets to deliver accelerated growth at an exceptional return on invested capital.

My people strategy is to hire high performance, highly motivated talented people who relish the challenge of delivering exceptional performance in a team environment. I use the “we” word when talking about the organizations I lead, not the “I” word. The team for which I am responsible deserves and receives the credit for their success. I succeed as the leader because they are successful, not because I micromanage them.

I do know how to do it and I have done it multiple times in multiple businesses. From personal observation of executives over nearly 4 decades it is my perspective Trump’s “its all about me” leadership attitude is not optimal and doesn’t attract the best people, or motivate people to give their best. Blaming people publicly for the failures of the organization also doesn’t deliver optimal results in my experience.

Perhaps Trump’s people failures are because he can’t attract the best talent. Why would an effective leader want to work for Trump?

Perhaps Trump’s way works in the hotel and property development industries. It certainly didn’t work for him as President. Armies of one are rarely successful leading large organizations. Almost all of the “successes” Trump personally claimed credit for were undone during the first few weeks of Joe Biden’s time in office. The Covid vaccine, for which he claims credit, does not prevent the recipient from contracting the disease or keep the disease from spreading. It does not meet the long accepted definition of a successful vaccine, so he definition of vaccine had to be changed. Now we are beginning to discover short and long term negative health impacts directly related to the vaccine. Short cutting the health trials does have repercussions.

You apparently believe he did a great job, was a great manager of people, and would be even more successful in a second term. You are entitled to your opinion. I don’t see it. If you are truly a liberty loving conservative you will respect the fact we can hold differing opinions and my point of view comes from actual experience.

You may brag all you want to, now do it in the swamp.

You obviously have done things in the past. So have I. But The swamp is currently HUGE. IF you put just patriotism or ideology in the position like the dems, what to you get? Total incompetence.

How rare is a good patriotic leader now. How do you find leaders? Lots of drones. My experience is you don’t find many.

I have a few warriors in my life and they are RARE.

Trump looked for skill and patriotism as best he could. He did more than anyone else . But all you want to do is complain, and INSUNUATE you could have done it right.
