Secret or not

A manufacturing plant manager faces a dilemma when making major changes. He can either inform the employees as things are progressing or not say anything until one weekend the new machines are installed and when the people come in on Monday morning they are all surprised. If he chooses to keep people abreast of things he runs the risk of appearing not to know what is going on. This happens because many changes occur along the way and sometimes the end product is quite different that what was originally planed. This can seem like chaos and sometimes it is. The people may feel that management is incompetent. The other alternative leaves people in the dark and gives the impression that management doesn't care what they think. Trump is like a manager who lets everyone know what is happening as things are happening. Since this is much different than the way most presidents behave it seems like chaos to the people and sometimes it is but the up side is that people are informed along the way. The news media are not happy with this arrangement since the people know what's happening as quickly as the media does.
