Trump is running country like a business a poorly managed one
If this is what running government like a business looks like, its no wonder President Trumps companies kept going bankrupt.
One week into the presidency, weve gotten a taste of Trumps management style. And so far its been plagued by many of the bad habits common to poorly run businesses.
Take, for example, his administrations clear indifference to or outright rejection of good measurement and analytics.
One of the first things you learn from talking to management experts and successful entrepreneurs is the importance of having a clear set of objectives, as well as good, consistent metrics for determining whether those objectives have been met.
Or, as Trumps commerce secretary nominee, Wilbur Ross, argued not once but twice in his confirmation hearing last week: I have a very heartfelt saying in management that anything you cant measure, you cant manage.
Ross, arguably the most business-savvy of Trumps Cabinet picks, has not yet been confirmed. In his absence, the administration has not exactly been taking his heartfelt saying to heart.
