Inside Trump’s Playbook
featuring Jeffrey Sonnenfeld
Renowned leadership scholar at the Yale School of Management
Wednesday, March 24th, 3-4pm ET, on Zoom
What if the chaos isn’t just chaos, but strategy?
Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, offers a rare inside look into Donald Trump’s playbook and leadership style, and why so many critics and supporters alike may be misreading it, from in his highly anticipated new book, “Trump’s Ten Commandments: Strategic Lessons from the Trump Leadership Toolbox.”
“Those who reflexively support the President and those who viscerally oppose him have one thing in common: they both think they understand what he’s doing and why. Sonnenfeld reveals how they are both wrong.”– Jeff Bewkes, Former CEO of Time Warner
A widely celebrated leadership scholar at Yale School of Management, and someone who has known Trump longer than anyone in the Trump 2.0 administration, Sonnenfeld decodes how Trump thinks, negotiates, pressures, retreats, and ultimately wins.
“No-one who hopes to understand what makes Trump tick can afford to leave this decathlon of a book unread.”
– Past TCGF Speaker Laurence Tribe, Renowned Constitutional Expert
“Trump’s Ten Commandments is the sharpest decoding of Trump’s leadership I’ve seen, and having lived it in the White House during his first presidency, I can tell you: this book is essential for anyone who wants to understand how power truly operates today.”
— Olivia Troye, Trump/Pence White House homeland security and counterterrorism advisor
“It is brilliantly written, deeply insightful, filled with rich and unique anecdotes that only a Jeff Sonnenfeld with his experience and relationship with Trump could provide, and dazzlingly colorful in his portrayal of Trump and the world around him."
– PAST TCGF Speaker Robert Hormats, Former US Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs for five US presidents across parties
