Donald Trump has always made much of the fact that he hired a woman, Barbara Res, as his construction superintendent for 18 years. Trump always said a woman would feel like she has to work harder than a man.

She has a lot of insights an how Trump will operate. “He’ll have someone read the reports for him and give them to him orally, real short,” Res said. “He brags that he’s never read a book all the way through.

He doesn’t have the patience to sit in meetings. We always had a hard time keeping his attention during the prep for a deposition or something like that. The flip side is that he can scan something and get it quickly.


Another former employee Jack O’Donnell, who served as president of the Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City at the height of Trump’s casino empire in the late 1980s, says “Trump reacts to what he sees and hears in the moment; but he is a poor listener.” To correct for those qualities, O’Donnell said, Trump learned to delegate much of his work and give managers broad authority. But those who have worked with him say that Trump’s delegating requires extreme loyalty, and if anything goes amiss, the boss will explode.

Needless to say, Trump blamed his multiple casino bankruptcy filings and nearly losing everything on his employees. Like Bill Clinton, Donald Trump is a screamer.

A major weakness, several of Trump’s former executives said staffers knew that "the last person to talk to the Trump about an issue would usually get what he or she wanted." That trait was so reliable that at least one executive, who asked not to be named because he still advises Trump, said he would camp out in Trump’s office in the final hours ahead of key deadlines, making certain that his would be the last word the boss heard before making his decision.

Trump's 3 am tweets are typical of his work day. His employees can expect to receive his calls at any time of the day or night. Trump sleeps in short bursts all day keeping no scheduled hours like many who sleep at night.
