I am made CEO of a major public company.
And in the first nine months of my divisive appointment, I accomplish nothing. My supporters, who were once enamored with me, now question my leadership and ideas. And every major overhaul that I promised the Board when they were considering me, I can't get done.
Increasing shareholder wealth is my number one priority. But I am making my customers unhappy with my many bad decisions and uncensored comments (unbefitting a CEO). So in the end, I am making the shareholders unhappy too.
And it's not just the customers and shareholders who are unhappy. My staff is none too pleased with me either.
In nine months, I've lost many top people. Either they've resigned, or I've fired them. And every one of them I hand-selected.
Oh, and on top of that, I have continually made inappropriate and offensive comments to and about— my customers, other industry leaders, my own employees — and just about anyone else you can think of.
My shareholders would be screaming for change and I would be out.
But then, that's just a company, albeit a big, important public one.
And that was an imagined scenario.
This other one is real.
In nine months the President of our great country has lost or fired his:
- chief of staff
- chief strategist
- national security advisor
- press secretary
- two communications directors
- a deputy chief of staff
- a deputy national security advisor
- the director of the FBI
- the secretary of Health and Human Services
- numerous other aides and advisors
And what happens?
Nada.
The likelihood of my becoming CEO of say, Amazon, is probably greater than anything good coming out of this presidency.
So sad.
