Donald Trump has a Blog
And I have to say, it's about time… It's great to see some of the more successful and noteable business leaders such as Mr. Trump and Mr. Cuban stepping up to the blogging plate to share their thoughts, experiences and ideals. These snippets of wisdom being brought forth through this new medium will foster more innovation, creativity, and motivation for new young entrepreneurs everywhere.
In taking a look at his first articles, what truly stood out to me is his latest on Business Ethics citing the example of recently ex-CEO of TYCO Dennis Kozlowski. He had quite the scandal emerge where he was recently convicted of being caught with his proverbial “pants down” for receiving bonuses that were not approved by the board of directors.
Ethics, Morals, and Character are things that are not always synonymous with business, and it's examples such as this that makes building trust a sometimes difficult thing to create in any industry. I've had my own experiences and dilemmas in my professional history and chose to take the bite and walk the right path which is not always the most profitable, at least it wasn't for me in the short term. Mr. Trump proves you can do both, and someday I will as well.
