Session 3: Leadership Style & Personality Attributes Case Study

29/9/2023

Does Donald Trump remains a viable Leadership option?

In 2020 Donald Trump’s leadership style was viewed by many as a passing worry. Others, many in the lower income brackets, welcomed the support and understanding of their plight by this galactically rich man.

Three years later, and after losing the last USA election to Biden, Trump remains a viable leadership option for many Americans.

September’s course content (see PDF and PowerPoint below) attempted to unravel some of this enigma.

Topics covered:

Family Trumps. (PDF Pages 2-9)
2020 political and reporting climate.
Trump psychology.
Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM) sections: Narcissism; Disagreeableness; Grandiosity; Gas-lighting; Authoritarianism/Fascism; Misogyny
Has Trump changed the ideas about leadership?
Characteristics of Trump supporters.

We powered through this content to enjoy the final 30 minutes of agreeable and eclectic conversation.

The topics for next month are “Addiction” and a “Day in the Life of a Residential Rehabilitation Centre”.

Next meeting:

Tuesday 17 October 2023 – U3A room at Senior Citz building Fawckner Drive.
