8 Common Errors in Change Efforts

Donald Trump's 8 Successful Disruptive Change Strategies

Allowing too much complacency

Donald Trump is incompatible with complacency. He is super-agile. He disrupts the status quo and creates breaking news every day. To illustrate, during his 1st month in office Donald Trump announced his intention to make Canada the 51st state, to regain the Panama Canal, to buy Greenland, and to take over the Gaza Strip. He also stunned Ukraine and EU by blaming Ukraine for starting the war with Russia.

Failing to create a sufficiently powerful guiding coalition

Donald Trump demonstrated a great ability to create a powerful guiding coalition of audacious transformational leaders such as JD Vence, Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.  A number of Trump's appointees have been given roles aimed at aggressively challenging the status quo.

Underestimating the power of vision

Make America Great Again (MAGA) is the vision, the slogan, and the movement popularized and pushed forward by Donald Trump during his three presidential campaigns and two presidential terms.

Undercommunicating the vision

Donald Trump both communicates and embodies his Make America Great Again (MAGA) vision relentlessly. MAGA is a key part of Trump's brand appeal for millions of Americans. Trump and his funs wearing 'Make America Great Again' caps and t-shirts are seen on TV and various mass-media channels every day.

Permitting obstacles to block the vision

Donald Trump attacks and removes all obstacles boldly. To illustrate, on Day 1 of his 47th Presidency Donald Trump President Donald Trump issued an executive order that revoked 67 executive orders of his predecessor.

Failing to create short term wins

Donald Trump creates and celebrates short wins more frequently that any other country President in the world.

Declaring victory too soon

Donald Trump celebrates short-term wins frequently, but keeps the big vision 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA) in front of him, his allies and all U.S. citizens fresh and appealing.

Neglecting to anchor changes firmly in the corporate culture

Donald Trumps anchors changes firmly both through various deals and in the culture. To illustrate, Trump signed an executive order placing numerous independent agencies under the control of the White House; Trump forced Columbia to take deported illegal migrants; Trump banned transgender athletes from women's sports, Trump turned relationships with Russia from negative to positive, and much more – all within one month in office.
