Donald Trump's hands-on management style to be tested by presidency
Published on November 27, 2016 in 2017/Top Headlines by Phil Ammann
President-elect Donald Trump looked at hundreds of marble samples before selecting one for the lobby of Trump Tower. He can recall, in painstaking detail even decades later, how he stood in the cold and oversaw the ice-making process at Central Park's rink. And, during the campaign, he personally reviewed every single campaign ad, rejecting some over the smallest of perceived flaws. The hands-on, minutiae-obsessed management style that Trump has relied on for decades in the business world will now be…

Donald Trump and new team have little time to execute new strategy
Published on August 20, 2016 in 2017/Top Headlines by Associated Press
Donald Trump is on the clock. He has about 80 days to reset and rally a presidential campaign that's done little but stagger since the close of the Republican convention. The GOP nominee's allies say the celebrity businessman and his new leadership team are "laser-focused" and ready to direct the billionaire's venom against Democratic Hillary Clinton. "This has been one of the best weeks the campaign has had," said Sean Spicer, chief strategist at the Republican National Committee. For much…
