A member of the Senate was interviewed the other day on the news and was talking about President Trump. He indicated that he was such a great president because of his management skills… he was of the opinion that he was a great manager.
I guess I never really thought of him a great manager — actually I never thought about him as even a good manager. I’m not one to criticize, but it seems to me that more times than not, when he’s referring to someone who works for him, he refers to them as dolts, or maybe something even worse. That really doesn’t seem like a good idea to me. I personally think a manager should be more diplomatic.
I’m pretty sure the President doesn’t need, or certainly won’t take, my advice but instead of using a term like dolt, I think I’d use something like resources — or maybe team member or associate.
But of course, maybe I’m just out of date and that’s the new management style.
