Interesting article by Dilbert creator Scott Adams on Donald Trump’s Management Style

It’s 3 pages long so I'll post only a few blurbs and a Link

“I made the mistake of turning on CNN yesterday and saw all the hypnotized pundits trying to work the secret persuasion word “chaos” into every comment about President Trump . . . . Someone told them to say “chaos” a lot, and so they do. . . . .

It appears that Trump’s counter-persuasion for “chaos” involves framing his administration as “disruptive.” That’s a good persuasion move because it doesn’t deny the observations. A disruption looks a lot like chaos from the outside. . . .

We expect the slow-moving traditional leader to create less “chaos” than the entrepreneurial and disruptive leader. . . .

Is being a bit messy a sign of a problem? Not if you’re the entrepreneurial, disruptive, candidate of change who just got elected.

There are two basic styles of management. One is the cautious style of Fortune 500 companies. The other is the rapid-iteration and A/B testing style of entrepreneurs. Trump is bringing the latter style to the office. The markers for this style of management include:

1. Rapid and decisive hiring and firing.

2. Bias toward action.

3. Rapid A/B testing. Release the early beta version and judge reactions. Adjust accordingly.

4. Emphasis on the psychology of success. Entrepreneurial management includes lots of persuasion and bullshit because entrepreneurs have to fake it until they make it. In other words, they have to create demand via persuasion.

Compare that management style to a large company style. Big companies move slowly in both hiring and firing. They get caught in “analysis paralysis” because no one wants to be seen as making a mistake. And they don’t do rapid testing and iteration with consumers. They try to get it right before any customers see the product.

The world is watching Trump trade some “chaos” to get the benefits of entrepreneurial management. It’s fast and messy, but he’s testing in real time. He’s watching protests. He’s watching news coverage. He’s watching social media. And he’s rapidly adjusting as needed."

A listing that the snowflakes produced of companies that the Trump family uses.

They would like you to boycott these companies; I would suggest that you spend your money with them.

I've already switched to Yuengling as my new favorite beer.

A long time ago when I left Pennsylvania to return to Florida, I bought 20 cases of Yuengling to take with me since it was not distributed in FL at the time. This has remained a favorite beer of mine and especially so after their support of Trump.

While detailing ways to get rid of President Trump, including by military coup, one former Obama State Department advisor offered a gem:

"In what seems to be a deliberate tactic, Brooks repeatedly questions Trump’s mental stability, claiming that the president’s first week in office “has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared.”" LINK

It is hard to see what such people are looking at. President Trump is doing an exceptional job.

It was heartening to learn yesterday that even black gang leaders in Chicago believe in President Trump and have asked for a meeting with his people to help reduce shootings while working to make life better in the inner city.

Such things stand in stark contrast to the former Obama advisor's observation.

Every time we drive through a state that has yuengling, we pick up a case. I recently read that it's coming to IN, so hopefully I can grab some locally soon.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Thursday that he spoke to the Australian ambassador to express support for the nations' relationship after a heated call from President Trump.

"I called Australia’s Ambassador to the United States this morning to express my unwavering support for the U.S.-Australia alliance," McCain, who's frequently criticized Trump, said in a statement.

McCain added that he asked Joe Hockey, the Australian ambassador to the U.S., to "convey to the people of Australia" that Americans value their alliance, "honor the sacrifice of the Australians who have served and are serving by our side, and remain committed to the safer, freer, and better world that Australia does far more than its fair share to protect and promote.”

*******************

McCain continues to be a real PIA. You can't live forever on your deeds from decades ago.

He seems to really enjoy taking a contrarian position.

McCain got crushed by obama in 2008 partly because he never fully attacked. McCain seems to have more fire in his belly when he fights REPs than DEMs.

Posturing and nothing more.

Trump needs to hunt down and fire with extreme prejudice whoever the hell is leaking this stuff.

So far, Tillerson has the line of the day.

He apologized to the State Department employees waiting for him to speak there this morning.

"Apparently, the folks at the National Prayer Breakfast felt a need to pray a little longer than usual this morning."

McLame is just a huge attention whore. Since Trump, Schumer, and a number of others are sucking up all the attention right now, ole Johnnie's trying to do anything he possibly can to remain even remotely relevant. Here's a hint Johnnie, you're not even yesterday's news, so stick a sock in it.

A follow up to Murkowski and Collins not supporting Betsy DeVos:

http://hotair.com/archives/201...-by-teachers-unions/

Murkowski was endorsed by the Alaska chapter of the National Education Association (NEA) in her 2016 campaign for Senate. The group, which represents 12,000 members who work in Alaska’s public schools, praised Murkowski for her “consistent commitment to improving public education.”

Collins, who has served in the Senate since 1997, received an “A” grade from the National Educators Association (NEA)in 2008. The “A” grade is the highest possible, according to the senator’s own press release. It is based on her voting record and “her co-sponsorship of legislation critical to NEA’s identified legislative priorities.” The “A” rating was also the result of “effective behind-the-scenes advocacy.”

"With this information as background, the current situation begins to make more sense. Generally the teachers unions won’t touch a Republican with a ten foot pole (unless it’s to whack them over the head with it). Anyone who supports school choice, promotes charter schools as alternatives, favors vouchers to provide parents with options, opposes automatic teacher tenure or calls for accountability in performance at public schools is an immediate enemy of the unions. They consistently turn their immense fundraising ability against such candidates. The fact that they’re such big fans of Collins and Murkowski was no doubt a factor and it wouldn’t be surprising to find out that they’d come calling as soon as it looked like this vote was close enough to actually block the nomination."

Ah I see that Sarah Silverman has now advocated a military overthrow of the freely elected Trump Administration. For all the democracy and tolerance that the left espouses, apparently they'd much prefer that we become a banana republic now, with a General rolling his tanks into DC.

Laughable snowflakes.

BTW Sarah, the military love Trump, your new President.

It seems the filthy, disgusting, and irrevelant "celebrities" do not support our President. What ever will we do?

Yeah, they are delusional to the extreme if they think the military is going to side with THEM. 8 years of clinton and then 8 years of obama PROVED the loyalty of the US military in supporting and defending the Constitution.

She voiced a main character in "Wreck It Ralph" and had a secondary role in a Star Trek Voyager episode. That's about the only things she ever did of note. She's another D-list actor trying to remain relevant. . .

Isn't advocating the overthrow of the US government illegal? And WHY isn't the Trump administration BLASTING Obama, Hillary, Schumer, and Pelosi for not condemning such speech? Say flat out if they do not condem it they support it. Make them give some answer.

Best to ignore them. By running to klinton and stampy-feet, they just give these two idiots undeserved clout and influence.

No. Actions should have consequences. Advocating the violent overthrow of a duly elected government should be punished. Ignoring it legitimizes it and it will get worse. These "stars" of the left will someday actually spur real violence with their words. Saying you hate him is one thing. Calling for a coup is quite another.

The level of stupidity is huge in some of these Hollywood types. Maybe if Sarah, Rosie and other dolts wish really hard the military will rise up against Trump. Maybe some general out there will see her tweet and think she has a great idea and will mobilize the military's forces. After all, isn't that the sort of thing that happens in the movies?
