Hey America!
We made it through Donald Trump’s first week.
I don’t say that sarcastically, I say that with complete sincerity.
Why do I say that?
Because at least we didn’t start a war…
A trade war, maybe.
But the nukes are still in their right spot.
One of the things I have had issue with from the very start was not Donald Trump’s policies or his ideas, but the fact that I don’t think he has really been a very successful businessman.
Which has played out in many forms in his first week.
Sure, he’s made some huge shows out of signing executive orders, but many of them, if not all, seem to have very little or no legal standing.
He has done a TV interview.
He has made some pronouncements.
He has also managed to make himself and his staff fools on several occasions…but we live in a post factual country, or something like that.
I don’t feel like all the self inflicted wounds are actually all that important, right now.
What I do think is important is that pretty quickly results are going to be the most important metric that people measure him against and that is when management skills are going to start to matter.
When that time comes, he is going to need a solid process in place to generate the kind of positive results that are going to have an impact on the country.
If not, he is going to be a failure…SAD!
