Seth MacFarlane Instagram – Just finished Franklin Foer’s enlightening account of Biden’s first couple years in office. While the book is a detailed examination of the management style of Biden himself, the real story is about his relationship to his team. As president, Biden is of course the final arbiter, however it’s tempered with a healthy trust in his professional inner circle. He’s frequently known to say, “Someone challenge me on this” when deciding upon a course of action in a meeting. As anyone who’s ever overseen a large group of people knows, the most desirable balance is a clear vision of what you need, coupled with a recognition that the departmental experts you hire can all do their jobs better than you can. Trust them, and everybody wins. This is evidently Biden’s style, in stark contrast to the Trump practice of packing a room with loyalist yes-men whose job is to affirm his whims without pushback. For those who voted for Joe, this book serves as timely a reminder of why. If you’re undecided, it’s definitely worth a read. | Posted on 28/Jan/2024 01:06:58
