Show Notes
Dr. Mickey opens with a bold premise: the President is essentially the CEO of the United States. With that in mind, would he "hire" Donald Trump to run one of his client companies?
His answer: “No.”
While acknowledging Trump’s charisma, energy, and strategic edge, Mickey finds his leadership style too divisive for the kind of unified culture most businesses need. “Half the workforce would feel engaged,” he says, “but the other half would feel excluded.”
Yet, the perception from millions of Americans tells another story—Trump's appeal is real, persuasive, and resilient.
As the 2028 race looms, this episode challenges us all to rethink what leadership should look like—and how we hire it.
