Many years ago, I worked as a file clerk in a large factory. A couple times a week, the owner came down and said hello to everyone. It sure made a difference in my head.
I think Donald has that same characteristic....and it's real like my first boss.
It was never unusual to see one or the other of them walking around in the plant on 2nd shift. They stopped and talked with the line workers, and asked for suggestions/ideas. Most of the employees earned their pay. Some of course were slackers, but they didn't last long.
