Trump's Comments Are Mild Compared to Bob Grant

[protectionist]

They matter. They are consequential. Therefore, he cant just carelessly vomit broken thoughts onto the public at large.

Leadership is a crititcal skillset for success in an organization. It is very much about building a connection with your whole team. Getting people involved and committed to the vision. Setting an example of expectations. Setting achievable goals. If you've never seen a bad leader in the workplace, it ends up creating a toxic culture and leading to failure. What trump is doing is creating that toxic culture by setting an awful example, the petti attacks on his enemies..even creating huge groups of enemies within our society and regularly calling them out, the dishonesty, the unprofessionalism, the blatant trolling, the aversion to science and tech which ARE the new economy of the world. His vision is not sufficiently developed or even correct for what we are facing as a country. He is sort of acting like a childish bitchy CEO/owner - which he can do with his direct staff, admin, and potentially congress to an extent of it is results driven. But he should absolutely not be directing that nasty mentality as the leader of the free world at the other stakeholders in our society. Absolutely not. He isnt our boss. He isnt the boss of the free press or any business or private sector organziation because - shocker - he isnt a dictator or king! You get it?

What I get from your post, is a ton of rhetorical accusations, and zero substance to back it all up. When you are ready to post even a little of what you base all this Trump bashing on, I'll be here to read it.

He's the leader of the country. His comments matter. Do you understand what leadership is?

They matter. So ? What's the problem ?

You know, halfway through my first tour of sea duty, we had a change of command and got a new skipper. The one we had previously was a great man, he spent a couple of hours of his day walking around the ship and asking various shops how things were. And, when we did carrier hits (underway replenishments), he would even put on a pair of coveralls and help out humping boxes, because we would spend approx. 24 hours staging all the cargo as they required so much material. And, because he actually cared about the crew, we had a very high morale, and the ship won several awards for battle readiness.

Then, we got Capt. D. He was a mess in more ways than one. You would never see him anywhere on the ship other than the bridge, wardroom or his stateroom, he had little to no contact with the crew, preferring to communicate only with the officers. And, under his leadership, morale sucked. People didn't want to do their jobs, because they felt it just didn't matter because the CO seemed to not really care about how things went. He finally was finally removed from command for running over a buoy. It was foggy, and the CO had a disagreement on the course selection, so he went over and took the helm from the person on watch. About 3 min later, he ran over the buoy. Made a hell of a racket, and tore a couple of big chunks out of the prop, putting us in the shipyard for a couple of months for repairs.

Yes, leadership matters. A good leader can make a place a joy to work at, whereas a lousy leader can impact morale in a very negative way, resulting in the workplace performing poorly.

We can see what kind of leader Trump is, simply by looking at all the chaos in the WH.

Who cares about Trump's comments? (Other than emotionally disturbed demwits.)

He's the leader of the country. His comments matter. Do you understand what leadership is?

How have his comments affected YOU?

P.S. Have you discussed this with your therapist?

Actually, it could be said that just the opposite is true. A really good leader is going to find himself constantly immersed in opposition and controversy, with those who have bad (or just weak-minded) intentions. The sure sign of a bad presidency is one where everything goes perfectly smooth and efficiently (like the Third Reich)

Actually, a good leader will have things running smoothly, as everyone will know their job well, and would be able to fill in for others when needed. I know that from serving in the Navy.

A bad leader is the one constantly immersed in opposition and controversy, because either (a) someone is bucking for the top job, or (b) the people are constantly fighting because there is no leadership, and they think they can do whatever they want.

Too bad you didn't serve in the Navy. Every time you go up a rank as a Petty Officer, you are required to attend Leadership and Management Education and Training. And, those courses are a great help towards teaching what leadership means.

I served in the US Army and the Army National Guard. Leadership is providing a good example by GETTING THINGS DONE, and achieving ACCOMPLISHMENTS, which is exactly what Trump has been doing for the past 2 years, despite constant, fanatical opponents, who couldn't care less about the country and its fate.
