Good management is characterized by minimizing personal ego, which allows leaders to focus on the collective goals of their organization. In the context of the Trump administration, this ideal was frequently not realized. The dynamics within the White House often suggested that events only mattered if they occurred in Donald Trump's immediate view, overshadowing the broader implications and realities of governance.

This environment fostered a perception that significant happenings could be disregarded unless they were directly tied to Trump's attention or involvement. Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" explores these themes, illustrating how the administration's decision-making process was heavily influenced by the president's personal presence and perception of reality.
