Episode 114 - Influencers #20 President Donald J Trump

In this first episode of a two-part series, Chris and Gareth take an in-depth look at the leadership, influence, and controversial legacy of Donald J. Trump, the 45th and 47th President of the United States. From his rise as a businessman, his first stint the White House, and his current administration. They examine the key traits that have made him such a powerful and divisive figure.  Trying very hard to be objective, they explore the good, the bad and the downright ugly; his charisma, communication style, and tenacity as well as his narcissism, lack of shame and seemingly selfish zero-sum approch to almost everything.  He certainly has unconventional approach to leadership, but is it effective and can we learn from it?

How did Trump use branding, media influence, and populism to command loyalty and disrupt traditional politics? Is he a brilliant strategist, a master of persuasion, or simply a product of a changing political landscape? And what can leaders in business and beyond learn from his successes—and his failures?

This is just the first of two episodes exploring Trump’s impact. Be sure to tune in next time as we examine his long-term legacy and the lessons his leadership offers for the future.
