EEC 385: From Good to GREAT - How to Command the Room with Your Voice, with David Pope

Philippe Johnson is a retired United States Air Force officer and advocate for principled and ethical leadership in public service.

 * What are the essential character traits and competencies all leaders need to exhibit to most effectively do their jobs?
 * Using the core traits you have identified for what makes a competent and principled leader, how does former President Trump serve as a case study of poor leadership, and what have been the material outcomes of his failings?
 * There are so many critics out there who decry Trump’s personal character and leadership style, but very few actually posit specific criteria for why he is such an aberration, other than pointing to the more sensational aspects of his court cases and social media rants. Can you clearly outline his shortcomings from a practical, on-the-job perspective?
 * The Trump administration seemed to place a premium on loyalty. Your book talks about the difference between “principled” and “unprincipled” loyalty.
 * Which term best applies to those within Trump’s inner circle and why? Please define “courageously selfless leadership,” and why is that such an integral part of governing an organization or company?
