Would you be so kind as to illuminate to all the rest of us dumb Freepers just what IS the proper and standardized appropriate experience to be president? Thanks in advance.
He probably means the willingness to reach across the isle.
A president is going to be in charge of a massive organization. Actually multiple organizations with dramatically different goals and focus.
You need some good organizational experience. You need a lot of experience knowing how to appropriately measure an organization. And you need experience hiring and firing and selecting Executive level people to run those organizations.
Governor’s get that experience at the state level. But they inherit a bureaucracy that usually doesn’t have the sort of fiscal or operational discipline as private industry. Trump has that experience, because he has been managing a large organization for 50 years. I really think his private company experience is far better than a governors experience, because it has the added discipline of making a profit. That forces you to make decisions much faster than in a state government.
Carson was a Neurosurgeon at John’s Hopkins. How many people did he manage? How many executives did he manage? My guess is a few nurses and office people as part of his practice and no executives.
Whoever gets elected will be trying to figure out what the various agencies do. What goals they want to set for that agency. What skills they need in the person to lead them. And a good president is going to be figuring out how to measure and control the organizations.
Carson will be at a decided disadvantage to any of the Goveronors or to Trump or to Fiorina when it comes to management skill. For that matter I think Cruz and the other senators will be at a disadvantage too.
Well, to be an executive it is handy to understand how large organizations work.
Getting staffs to work together is probably more difficult than brain surgery—you need a lot of extra hands.
he has to be slimy lawyer that’s been stealing peoples money in political offices that he has held for ever, don’t ya know. you silly dumb freeper s/
