But in order for any ofthese solutions tO succeed, workers have t0 be willing to regulate their own habits. And that is especially tough ⅲ a country like the U.

I don't have any experience in grid- locked government where nobody takes responsibility for anything and everybody blames everybody else … But I do have a lOt ofexperience in getting things done. ” DO business leaders make good Presi- dents? Given the most common paths tO the White House, history offers us few ex- amples. Trump, after all, is the onlyAmer- ican in 228 years not tO have served in the military or held political offce before be- coming President. Unless we countWash- ington,Jefferson, Madison andJackson— slave-owning planters ・—as businessmen, our greatest presidents have come from the bar (Jefferson, LincoIn, FDR), served as generals (Washington, Jackson, Eisen- hower) or even failed in the private sector. (Reaganwent int0 politics after he lost his gig as a TV hOSt and corporate spokesman for General Electric; Truman was a disas- trous haberdasher in Kansas City, Mo. ) A list ofthe most significant U.

Trump's aware Of the distinction between government and an ethos gov- erned by the bottom line and brand man- agement. "This was tough; ” he said in his election-night speech. "This political stuff is nasty, and it's tough. ” Business leaders Often go to Washington thinking a focus on results will pro- duce shareholder value for taxpayers. And just as 0ften they leave disappointed or dissatisfied. The problem, of course, iS that government iS not a business. The public sphere ミ is far less accountable tO market measures than it iS tO the amorphous but real incentives and vicissitudes Of politics. A corporation's main goal is the maximization Of profit. A government's main goal, in the words 0fJohn Locke, is nothing less than "the good ofmankind.

"Under budget and ahead ofschedule. SO important. We don't hear those words tOO often in government, but you will; ” Trump said. "TOday is a metaphor forwhat we can accomplish for this country. ” Report- ers covering the event got the message: Trump was promising t0 bring his much vaunted—mostly by himself—private-sector experience t0 fixing the public sphere. TWO weeks later, on the night 0fhis victory over Hillary Clinton, the President-elect of the United States put the matter plainly. "l've spent my entire life and business looking at the untapped potential ⅲ projects and in people all over the world' ” Trump said. "That is nowwhat I want tO dO for our country,. Which raises a fundamental question: How can the lessons of business—from real estate dealmaking tO large-scale corporate management— apply tO the work Of government? ln an otherwise scattershot, heavily tweeted transition—the President-elect's targets have ranged from Alec Baldwin to John Lewis and from Arnold Schwarzenegger t0 the entire intelligence apparatus of the United States—Trump has been consistent about bringing a private-sector sensibility tO Washington. His Cabinet is a bas- ket ofbillionaire businesspeople ()r near-billionaire business- people), among them Rex Tillerson at State, Steve Mnuchin at Treasury and Wilbur Ross at Commerce.
