8 Common Errors in Change Efforts |
Donald Trump's 8 Successful Disruptive
Change Strategies |
① |
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. |
② |
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.
|
③ |
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.
|
④ |
Undercommunicating the
vision |

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. |
⑤ |
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.
|
⑥ |
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. |

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. |
