unSILOed with Greg LaBlanc · 2026-07-03 · 1h 3m
Jeffrey Sonnenfeld is a professor of management and senior associate dean for leadership studies at the Yale School of Management. He is also the author, co-author, and editor of a number of books. His works include The Hero's Farewell: What Happens When CEOs Retire , Firing Back: How Great Leaders Rebound After Career Disasters , and, most recently, Trump's Ten Commandments: Strategic Lessons from the Trump Leadership Toolbox with Steven Tian. Greg and Jeff discuss why Jeff thinks leadership scholars and journalists misread Donald Trump. He argues the goal should be not to normalize or judge Trump but to understand Trump’s predictable, strategic patterns - often mistaken as impulsive - so they can be countered, and he criticizes the labeling Trump as “stupid” or “crazy” for helping create widespread complacency.
