CEOs tend to be people who have worked their way up through large organizations, unlike billionaire entrepreneurs or hedge fund managers. The CEOs of America’s largest companies almost universally oppose Trump because he is the antithesis of who they are—servant leaders who have succeeded by bringing people together to win as a team, with integrity, global thinking, and open minds.
This year, Trump has taken increasingly extreme anti-business, including proposing draconian, universal 10% tariffs on all imports from all countries, which would hurt businesses and consumers while raising prices across the board. Trump has also suggested he would curtail the independence of the Federal Reserve. No CEO relishes the prospect of a politicized Fed driving destabilizing see-saw swings in monetary policy to satisfy presidential whims.
Servant leaders, eh? That sounds almost noble
Too bad that hasn’t been true for most of our lifetimes, if it ever was
It’s how they see themselves, bless their hearts. There’s one thing they’re right about, though. Hedgefundies and billionaire entrepreneurs are an unspeakable scourge on this society.
Some how, I get the feeling, when he’s using that about himself, he’s not pitching “come give us free labor” at a church or something.
