Trump @ Work

"Rich Moran is the keenest observer of contemporary organizational life writing today, and Trump @ Work is Moran at his best -- witty, insightful, and provocative. It is a whack-on-the-side-of-the- head book that will make you think, and question, and sometimes go crazy. You may not agree with everything that Moran says -- I sure didn't and he doesn't expect it -- but I guarantee that reading this book will give you a whole new perspective on how leaders behave and why constituents respond the way they do."

"Rich Moran wrote the book I wish I had the courage to write. He casts a bright light on the many ways in which Trump challenges conventional management wisdom while doing things, albeit in an extreme fashion, that many other business leaders do. Just as political behavior will never be the same, so, after reading Moran's insightful book, people's ideas about leadership will be forever altered."

• Jeffrey Pfeffer, Thomas D. Dee II Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business and author of Leadership BS.

"Trump @ Work points out that leadership is complex, and the actions and style of Donald Trump's do not make it any simpler. This is a book that works hard to avoid judgment while showing that Trump has us wondering about the boundaries of effective leadership.Mostly, this is an insightful look into aspects of leadership that are not often front and center, making us re-examine what really works for leaders. Whether you like Trump or not, this is a great read."

• Stuart Kaplan, Leadership and Organization Advisor at Google

"Leadership activities, theory, or research is not new. But sometimes, a leader comes along who defies traditional activities and assumptions. Most either love him or loathe him, but few can deny that Donald Trump challenges traditional leadership thoughts and actions. Moran brilliantly captures these 'Trumpisms' and offers new and challenging ways to lead."

• Dave Ulrich, Rensis Likert Professor, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan; Partner, the RBL Group

"Disruption is the word of the times and everyone wants a piece of it, including the American people. In his latest book, Moran shows that Donald Trump is disrupting widely held beliefs on leadership whether we like it or not. While Trump is disrupting leadership, Moran provides plenty of insights into what still matters."

• Markos Kounalakis, McClatchy foreign affairs columnist, and author of Trump Moves Fast and Breaks Things To Disrupt World

"Trump @ Work is not just a wake-up call, it's a slap in the face for all of us who profess to understand leadership. Don't' read this book if you don't like to be challenged, if you don't like to be uncomfortable, and if you're not willing to change. The lessons in Trump @ Work are now part of our knowledge base about people, management and leadership. The book shines a light on this new world order with lessons that can't be ignored, whether we like it or not."
