Harvard Business School highlights several crucial qualities defining effective leadership, including the ability to influence others, encouraging risk-taking, and a commitment to transparency. So, how does the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump, fare when grading his leadership qualities?

Straight Arrow News contributor Dr. Rashad Richey argues that former President Donald Trump is not the leader he claims to be but is, in fact, one of the great con artists in American politics.

I have never seen a person this high be this bad. I’m talking about status-wise, influence, a former president of the United States. He’s such a bad leader. We’re just talking about leadership dynamics. He’s ineffective. He doesn’t get the job done. He cannot execute. He made a bunch of promises that he never delivered. Cutting taxes: never delivered. Making medication come down to the lowest ever: never delivered. He didn’t deliver on any of it. Hell, he didn’t even lock up Hillary Clinton. That’s a promise he made. He campaigned on it. Lock her up.

Did he make America great again? No. According to the stats, he ran up the deficit. He increased what we’re going to pay out, did not decrease it. Did you have a record low tax debt? No. None of it was true. He delivered on nada.

But look at what has happened to people he has come in contact with. So typically, when we talk about leadership, we’re talking about, well, the person is able to demonstrate mastery in this particular field. Well, what does Trump demonstrate mastery in? Is he a master of morality? No. How about ethical and principal behavior? Hell no.
