About this episode

Jeffrey Sonnenfeld discusses Donald Trump's strategic playbook and core behaviors in this episode.

Trump isn’t impulsive. He’s not “just winging it.” According to Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and his new book Trump's Ten Commandments: Strategic Lessons from the Trump Leadership Toolbox , Donald Trump operates on a repeatable, deliberate playbook—ten core behaviors he’s used for decades. What looks like chaos is actually strategy. What feels like a meltdown is often the move itself. In this episode, Rick Wilson and Yale Business School Professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld break down Trump’s pattern of power: the same tactics, the same outcomes, over and over again. Once you see the playbook, you can’t unsee it. • • • • • Jeffrey Sonnenfeld is on X at @JeffSonnenfeld, and his new book, ,’ Trump's Ten Commandments: Strategic Lessons from the Trump Leadership Toolbox ,’ is available now, wherever fine books are sold.
