After reading my peer’s blog about Donald Trump: https://blogs.ubc.ca/meeranamir/2017/02/05/factors-influencing-trumps-leadership/, I had a lot to contemplate about and my reflections are as follows:

The world is constantly evolving, with the forward advances we experience, we value the values and attitudes of humans more and more. This is why we have experienced a shift from autocratic dictators towards democracy and laissez-faire in the business world and beyond. In the business world, this can be seen through more delegation and decentralization. Beyond, the greatness of freedom of individuality.

As with any leadership job, presidency can be closely linked to a management style. Where America is renowned for its famous democracy, this could all be in danger with a new leader who has his own ideas. Trump, cannot be identified as a good leader, he has ignored the country for his own wants through absurd actions. He resembles more closely autocracy and dictatorship than a democracy, ignoring the millions of protestors who don’t agree with his out of line perspective.

Focusing on just the leadership style regarding politics (eschewing orientating this blog towards a political rant), we have seen great presidents such as Obama, who really cared about the people and proved this by trying to provide as stable and cohesive a country as possible, definitely doing more good than harm. However, with Trump at the throne- this could all be derailed as the delicately build democracy by Obama is being disarmed by the corrupt desires of Donald Trump who has ideas of his own that hardly anybody agrees with.

Leadership style is evidently very important, companies such as Google have got to the top not just because of their innovative excellence, but also because of their approach towards management. It can only be hoped that a stop will be put to Trump’s out of line management of the economic superpower country of the world.
