I am very interested in how Donald Trump manages his businesses.

Or how he has done so in the past.

This article is quite informative and it is not biased or snarky in anyway.

Inside the Trump Organization, the Company That Has Run Trump’s Big World

Finally, some respectful press that takes Trump seriously.

I will try to do the same.

I ran a "family" business for a long time. The family was not always blood family but a close network of associates who made our business successful.

I learned a lot about loyalty in those years and was willing to give people responsibility as they earned it. I also learned how to get rid of the people who did not want to--or were unable--to play it that way.

I do not think I was cruel about it. But look. If you are a "partner" then I expect you will act like one.

Read this and see how Trump has done things. I like it. I understand it.

I think it will be tough to take his style of leadership to Washington but I am ready to wait and see.

Oh. What are the things I admire? The slim organization chart. The close scrutiny through "signing the checks"*. The loyalty to old employees who are moved up along with the boss. The swift retaliation for any breach of trust or failure in loyalty. I believe in firing and I believe in rewarding. Reward and punishment equally delivered.

I also like the face to face aspect. And the inclusion of loyal family where some observation is needed. How the wheels are rolling.

I don't have an image for this. Trying something new. More text, less pictures.

*I still sign checks for our condo board and do not relegate it to the professional managers. Same reasons. Power and accountability. Very easy to see how things are working.
