did trump build a house brick by brick?
Demolition, architecture, plumbing, electrical work, heating, air conditioning, permits, labor, interior design, lumber, dry wall, 12 foot tall golden letters spelling your own last name--Trump's big edge is he knows the going rate for all of it. There are hundreds of details that go into turning a hunk of capital into a building; Donald Trump wins because he knows what all those details cost. And his competitors don't.
his competitors don't hire specialists who know that?
- illuminate 14y ago"did trump build a house brick by brick?" He inherited billions of dollars and a career from his father, squandered through narcissism and bad business decisions into mere millions of dollars.
- RobSpectre 14y agoThink my argument is that the CEOs that meet with wild success don't appear to rely on specialists - there is a clear advantage to have a sense of development time in the chief's chair. That advantage is much harder to receive in our business than Trump's, but is similarly effective to exploit.
- zalew 14y agoI doubt CEOs with wild success do micromanagement. I also highly doubt Trump could build a single wall if you gave him a thousand bricks and some cement, or design it in CAD. There's a difference between having a sense of time/cost and knowing how to build stuff by hand.
- bertomartin 14y agoHow do you know that someone knows what he/she is doing? You can't always just look at the end result. For example, designing a web page today, you can still use tables to layout the structure and have the same look as a non-table layout; but obviously the latter is more desirable on so many levels.
