Times Person of The Year: Donald Trump<\/a><\/p>\nWith the 45th<\/sup> President of the United States in office for just about two weeks, we\u2019ve seen unprecedented decisions made, protocols broken as well as series of new legislature and executive orders. This blog post will analyze Donald Trump\u2019s leadership and its effectiveness in his organization, the government of the United States.<\/p>\nDonald Trump\u2019s attitudes towards policymaking are attributed to an underlying concept in organizational behaviour, perception and personality<\/strong>. His perceptual errors stem from negative stereotypes, prejudice and selective perception<\/strong>; creating distinguished divides between minorities under his presidency. In addition to improper perception, his personality is also skewed with unpredictability. Under the Big Five Personality Model, <\/strong>I see Trump as an extravert who is disagreeable, conscientious, emotionally unstable and open to new experience; after all, he is a successful multi-billionaire real estate mogul. In terms of emotion<\/strong>, I believe that Donald Trump has high Emotional Intelligence<\/strong>, because he is able to manipulate other\u2019s emotions into doing his bidding; whilst possessing characteristics from the Dark Triad<\/strong> like Machiavellianism<\/strong>, Narcissism and Psychopathy.<\/strong> Literally, all Donald Trump really cares for is himself and his business, citing Twitter rampages linked to self-esteem as well as evidence of strong ties still remaining in his company. What other organizational behaviour problems do we see with this unprecedented type of Presidency?<\/p>\nTrump\u2019s values<\/strong> for workplace diversity<\/strong> can be clearly evidenced through his pick for cabinet nominations. Clearly, there is a higher ratio of white males in his cabinet compared to past Presidents, showing how little he cares about diversity in the workplace, namely gender, cultural and religious diversity<\/strong>. However, we have yet to see how his cabinet, or \u201cemployees\u201d will be committed to the organization in terms of engagement, involvement and satisfaction. <\/strong>In Donald Trump\u2019s workplace we also see the use of Theory X <\/strong>where employees will be punished should results not be visible; Trump has already fired and criticized publicly on Twitter those employees who displayed disloyalty in the execution of his orders. Lastly, the communication <\/strong>is his government is truly non-existent, as evidenced with the confusion in citizens as well as border patrol agents in regard to his recent “Muslim Ban”. There are clear problems in Donald Trump\u2019s leadership and his government. However, this may be due to the fact that the organization is still forming<\/strong>. We must remain hopeful as he has yet to accomplish the forming stage and move on to storming.<\/strong> Only by uniting together and recognizing what Donald Trump is doing is morally incorrect can we have a chance a defeating hatred and evil.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
