It does still amaze me how many people have ZERO clue what "leadership" actually looks like.
If I was dealing with a character exactly like Donald J. Trump, except he was the CEO/GM of one of my clients (and FTR, I HAVE dealt with similar characters), my conversations with the board/governing body would be rather plain: you have a leadership problem at the top. Nobody is actually running the systems that need running, and even if he was trying to, he has no idea how to do it, no clue how they run, etc. And he commands no actual respect, nor does he conduct any effective delegation. The leadership model is simply one of fealty/loyalty to him, not to the organization. So, even his lieutenants aren't doing their jobs (handling company matters) because he has re-defined their jobs as "serve the CEO's ego." You have dysfunction all the way down, because that's the culture created at the top. And the problems that causes are manifold: non-functioning systems, corruption and self-dealing, fear among employees and even stakeholders, etc. He's not just incompetent, he's toxic and counter-productive to your entire mission.
I would say that if my client was a country, a city, or a local hamburger chain with four locations.
Yet tens of millions of people think that if you are a blatant asshole, who projects assholery, you are a "leader." 78 million of us would vote for Sobel. Anyone who has any real experience inside a unit of any sort would choose Winters. But in the end, I think the Sobel model will ultimately win, because stupidity is our national brand.
