  • President-elect Donald Trump's selections to serve in his cabinet and head government agencies sent shockwaves in some quarters and provided important leadership lessons.

The article by Edward Segal for Forbes, published on December 3, 2024, discusses the comparison between Donald Trump's cabinet selections and the process of choosing corporate CEOs. It highlights that while corporate CEOs are typically selected through a rigorous, data-driven process involving extensive background checks, psychological assessments, and stakeholder consultations, Trump's cabinet picks often bypass these conventional methods. The article notes that Trump's choices are frequently based on personal loyalty, ideological alignment, and sometimes controversial figures, which contrasts sharply with the corporate world's emphasis on competence, experience, and alignment with company values. This approach has led to significant turnover and criticism regarding the qualifications and suitability of some appointees. The piece also touches on the implications of these selections for governance, policy implementation, and public trust in government institutions.
