I agree, I have tested over 1,000 people in their management style, including all professions government and private sector over the years.

there are none basic groups, trump falls into the “results Oriented” these are people who get their ego satisfaction out of getting things done. they are good delageters and measure you on your results not an method.

OTOH, Lawyers, politicians, journalists, entertainers etc. get their ego satisfaction from influencing/controlling people, they are poor delegators, and tend to micro manage.

Also, within these groups people have different energy levels, my guess is that Trump is at the high end when it comes to energy.

65% of the folks fall into the compliant or security oriented groups.

Trump is a great manager and team builder, just do what you said, no BS, and he will treat you great.

I lack your experience in testing, although I have done much reading on such systems. (You meant nine basic groups, right?)

I submit that if one is simply reasonable and objective, then one can come to much the same assessment of a person like Trump; he doesn’t exactly hide that he is all about results and is highly energetic.

There is one quotation from my father that I have always remembered: “A good general never tells his men what to do. A good general tells his men what he wants, and then leaves it up to them to figure out how to do it.” (As a boy, that first line caught me off guard.) A good general sees the Big Picture (which, after all, is why he is called a “general” - as in not specific - officer and not a “private” officer).

Obama is a lawyer, and a dictator.

Trump is a general, and a delegator.

Give me Trump any day.

OTOH, I put together by delegating the largest protest in the state with which I lived.

People in those professions MAY have tendancies like you describe, but perhaps you should use the word “tend” instead of “get”. Yes, in most tradional thought, the exceptions to a statement are assumed, but our culture seems to need constant reminders in our languqage to keep that knowledge alive.

Trump is a great manager and team builder, ...

My best definition of manager:

"A Manager is not the one who can do the work of ten... he is the one who can get ten to do the work!"
