U.S. Army's field manual on leadership

Trust

Trust is fundamental to the functioning of a team or alliance in any setting: “Leaders shape the ethical climate of their organization while developing the trust and relationships that enable proper leadership.” A leader who is deficient in the capacity for trust makes little effort to support others, may be isolated and aloof, may be apathetic about discrimination, allows distrustful behaviors to persist among team members, makes unrealistic promises and focuses on self-promotion.

Discipline and self-control

The manual requires that a leader demonstrate control over his behavior and align his behavior with core Army values: “Loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage.” The disciplined leader does not have emotional outbursts or act impulsively….

Judgment and critical thinking

These are complex, high-level mental functions that include the abilities to discriminate, assess, plan, decide, anticipate, prioritize and compare.

Self-awareness

Self-awareness requires the capacity to reflect and an interest in doing so. “Self-aware leaders know themselves, including their traits, feelings, and behaviors.” When a leader lacks self-awareness, he “unfairly blames subordinates when failures are experienced” and “rejects or lacks interest in feedback.”

Empathy

The field manual repeatedly stresses the importance of empathy as an essential attribute for Army leadership. A good leader “demonstrates an understanding of another person’s point of view” and “identifies with others’ feelings and emotions.” The manual’s description of inadequacy in this area: “Shows a lack of concern for others’ emotional distress” and “displays an inability to take another’s perspective.”

This assessment was pulled together by a psychiatrist. I agree with her conclusion that Trump fails every test of leadership as dictated in the US Army Field Manual. If you disagree, I welcome evidence to the contrary.

You can see the evidence of his poor leadership in the dysfunction of his administration and the government under his leadership. Even among Republican leaders and his own staffers, almost nobody respects him. Thus, you get all the leaking to the press, the backbiting, and the back-channel undercutting of his efforts. A great leader winds up with people who would throw themselves in front of a bus to save him. Trump is surrounded by people who spend all day trying to figure out how to throw one another under the bus.

20+ WH staffers have left...either shit-canned or running out of the building screaming.
That doesn't even count those who were tapped by Trump for a position and said NO.

I challenge anyone to name a former president who has this wretched of a record in hiring and keeping staff, i.e. leadership skill.
 
That's proof enough of Trump's inability to be in the role of president of the USA.
Any thinking person can see how inept Trump is in discharging his duties.

I believe most people are capable of seeing Trump as unqualified. They just don't want to admit it. Also, they apparently care more about their political party than what's in the best interest of the USA.

Seems the quickest way to close down a thread is by asking a right winger to explain what they meant by their post...or to make a comment on the thread subject.

Trump isn't hiring executive staff. Deputies are not in place. I see two reasons. Trump isn't trusting of people...and I think we can all figure out why. And many folks don't want to be sullied through alignment with him.

Reports are that Trump yelled at Kelly...and Kelly said he would not tolerate that. I await Kelly's departure.
 
Republican strategist Rick Wilson has some ideas on the president's character arc: First, the basic, fundamental problem is President Short Attention Span himself. Trump’s inability to focus for longer than the duration of a tweet will make his troubles in the coming months much, much worse. Consider last Sunday as an example. At first, he greeted the day with a few on-point messages of support for the people hit hard by Harvey. Then things went off the rails, with a logrolling promotion of Sheriff David Clarke’s book, some bleating about Mexico paying for the imaginary Wall, and a swipe at Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri. While FEMA, the State of Texas, and tens of thousands of volunteers buckled down for recovery operations, Donald Trump was engaged in his usual Twitter logorrhea.

If you thought that Trump would improve once Steve Bannon, Seb Gorka and a few of the other hangers-on were fired, think again. Trump is always Trump, and never, ever improves. Even the scripted statements and speeches where he reads from the teleprompter are done through gritted teeth, and you can practically see the mania building as he plots his next attention-whoring outrage. John Kelly’s thankless task won’t get easier. The prisoner never loves his warden, even if he obeys the rules from time to time. The White House staff will need to keep the shock collar charged in the next 10 days, as the scope of the deaths and destruction becomes clear.

Second, Donald Trump’s disaster on race isn’t over, no matter how many variations of the staff-driven cleanup speeches and remarks he reads. The cat was out of the bag the moment the “both sides” speech lowered the bar on presidential moral character, and it’s cracked the loyalty of his Cabinet and deeply embarrassed an already shamed and disgusted Republican Congress.

Dear Prudence

In questions of psychiatric ethics, simple “yes” or “no” answers are rare, yet questions arise frequently in the clinical setting. “Should I accept a patient’s invitation to a party?” “Is it OK to tell a patient that I, too, have had a depression? “Can I release sensitive information about my patient without the patient’s consent?” “Can I give a psychiatric opinion about someone I’ve never examined?”

American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Principles of Medical Ethics,[1] which states it is unethical for psychiatrists to give a professional opinion about public figures they have not examined in person, and from whom they have not obtained consent to discuss their mental health in public statements.

The issue arose in 1964 when Fact published the article "The Unconscious of a Conservative: A Special Issue on the Mind of Barry Goldwater".[3][5] The magazine polled psychiatrists about American Senator Barry Goldwater and whether he was fit to be president.[6][7] The editor, Ralph Ginzburg, was sued for libel in Goldwater v. Ginzburg where Goldwater won $75,000 (approximately $579,000 today) in damages.[3]

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out and play

Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
that you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Look around round
Look around round round
Look around

Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

That essay is called an opinion. An Op-ed, to be precise. That's why it's on the opinion page.

No, it's called writing an opinion piece. Opinions are not news, they are opinions.

ISIS invaded Iraq and occupied a major portion of the country. Obama's major accomplishment having been to demolish ISIS, allowing Iraqi troops the chance to train up and fight for their own country...in the process losing a very few American lives...and that is a huge accomplishment.

Syria was forced to turn over one of the largest WMD arsenals in the middle east to the UN for destruction. Again without losing a single American life.

He assembled a coalition of nations to impose sanctions on Russia for their interference in Ukraine.

He and six other nations negotiated the end of the Iranian nuclear weapons program for at least the next 10 years.
