Views from the educator
Do you think the right player won?
Absolutely. At the end of the day, Bill demonstrated he had the qualities of the culture of Donald Trumps organization, and seemed like the best fit. And with the kind of projects during the show, Bill seemed to best fit with that as well.
Who had the tougher task?
I think Kwames task was much tougher. There are so any more layers and complexities to that type of task. I dont think the tasks were equivalent.
Was Kwames team selection his downfall?
Yes. I think that to be a leader, especially in project management, the ability to form the team is essential. I dont think he formed them as well as Bill. Omarosa is an obvious example of detriment to the team, and I think Heidi was an odd choice for him. I wouldnt have chosen her.
What was Bills best move?
I think his best move was two things. One, he chose the best people. And two, I think he understood the final task was all about minute-by-minute management. And thats what event planning is minute-by-minute management.
What was Kwames worst move?
Its a tie between two the team he chose, and his approach to the project. Kwame took too much of a hands-off approach. Event management is about managing minutes. He couldnt have done everything himself. But I dont think he grasped the nature of event management.
Who was the most annoying player throughout the season?
An easy cheap shot is Omarosa, but shes predictable. I think the most annoying was Troy. I thought he had too high an opinion of himself, and he was very sexist.
Who would you rather work for: Kwame or Bill, and why?
I would rather work for Bill. He demonstrated a lot of passion and willingness to get his hands dirty, and help build something. I think thats very motivating and inspiring.
