NYT: Case Study in Chaos: How Management Experts Grade a Trump White House
The unanimous verdict: Thus far, the Trump administration is a textbook case of how not to run a complex organization like the executive branch.
This is so basic, its covered in the introduction to the M.B.A. program that all our students take, said Lindred Greer, an assistant professor of organizational behavior at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. By all outward indications, Mr. Trump desperately needs to take the course, she said.
Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor of organizational behavior at Stanford and the author of Power: Why Some People Have It and Others Dont, said Mr. Trumps executive actions as president are so far from any responsible management approach that they all but defy analysis.

Wall Street did take notice. After months of cheering the prospect of tax reform and infrastructure spending, investors sold stocks after a weekend of chaos at the nations airports connected to the presidents executive order on immigration. On Monday, the Dow industrials experienced the biggest one-day decline since the election, fueled by worries that a dysfunctional White House wouldnt be able to execute Mr. Trumps policies.
