Elections

As I observe the political process unfold in this year’s presidential rumble I hear the big weakness of Donald Trump is his lack of knowledge about foreign policy and I am reminded of Robert McNamara. He was the CEO of Ford Motor Company and then became Secretary of Defense and then President of the World Bank. He had a managerial talent known as administrative skills. It was not his knowledge of the subject matter but his understanding of people and how organizations work that allowed him to move through such diversely different groups. There are many assets needed to be this type of person, things like being a quick learner, and know how to select qualified people. I am beginning to see these qualifications Carly Fiorina. While she was fired for the changes she made at HP the current CEO, Meg Whitman says what Fiorina saved the company during the economic downturn and since the company has showed solid growth. I am still looking at Kasich with Rubio as VP to be the winning combination.
