In this extraordinarily dangerous time of COVID-19, President Trump’s leadership skills have been on full display, sadly so.
Up until this election year of 2020, Donald Trumps disruptive, corrupt, vengeful, self-serving and uninformed ways of handling the country’s business, had brought a majority of Americans to the edge of despair. Now, however, Trump’s leadership skills, or lack thereof, have shown Trump’s incredible inability to effectively manage the current healthcare crisis, resulting in a late and erratic national COVID-19 response, confusion throughout the country, excessive fear, most likely increased infections, and probably needless loss of life.
So, what is lacking in Trump’s leadership ability? What are those traits other presidents have displayed that are so increasingly needed in the United States of America? What follows is a listing of many such attributes that are found not only in the on-the-job performances of good American presidents of the past, but also in effective leaders in general.
Each word is linked to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary just in case you might want to refresh your memory with a quick definition. Be prepared for a feast of wonderfully positive characteristics and remember, We the People of the United States deserve nothing less.
