Trump recruits army of chief executives to battle with the system in Washington
President-elect Donald Trump is stocking the upper echelons of his administration with more than the usual share of business titans like himself, betting the success of his presidency on the idea that a clash of cultures is needed to fix the mess in Washington and bring order to international affairs.
The question is whether those who promise to bring a corporate mind-set to governance will change the system or be run over by it.
“They have to adapt to a different set of constraints, an actual set of constraints on behavior that exist in government that don’t exist anywhere else,” said Elaine Kamarck, director of the Brookings Institution’s Center for Effective Public Management. “Do they learn it, and roll with the punches, or are they constantly fighting it?”
Trump’s pick for secretary of state, ExxonMobil chief executive Rex Tillerson, is the latest and most high-profile among the chief executives he is bringing on board.
