Speech Topics
As governments and organizations around the world struggle with adapting to a near-constant pace of change, it is imperative that leaders understand, communicate and execute a clear vision. In this presentation, Gen. Kelly discusses the difference between governance (ethical, mission-centered management designed to provide positive outcomes for the good of the people) and politics (specific agendas with varied outcomes, based on short-term goals). A 4-Star General, US Secretary of Homeland Security and White House Chief of Staff, Gen. Kelly discusses this critical distinction and the impact it can have on organizations around the world.
In a world where dictators are falling and rising, governments posture for a greater impact on the global stage, and information is the critical currency, who will emerge and where will opportunities exist? A 4-Star General, US Secretary of Homeland Security and White House Chief of Staff, few people are as qualified as Gen. Kelly to provide first-hand insight into the
After Donald Trump left the White House, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, the man who served as the Republican president’s chief of staff for 17 months, has struggled to contain his contempt for his former boss. Over the last couple of years, Kelly has accused Trump of, among other things, “poisoning” people’s minds, having “serious character issues,” and not being “a real man.”
But even more important than Kelly’s assessment of the former president’s character are the concerns he’s raised about Trump’s abuses while in office. Last fall, the week before Thanksgiving, Kelly told The New York Times that Trump, during his presidency, told his chief of staff to use the Internal Revenue Service and the Justice Department to target his critics and perceived political foes.
The Times’ report went on to note, “Mr. Kelly said he made clear to Mr. Trump that there were serious legal and ethical issues with what he wanted.” The then-president “regularly” made the demands anyway, leading Kelly to remind his boss what he wanted “was not just potentially illegal and immoral but also could blow back on him.”
The significance of the report did not linger — it was overshadowed by a series of o
John Kelly, Trump's Chief of Staff, to Leave White House
Trump, speaking with reporters on the White House lawn before departing for the Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia, said that he would announce a replacement for Kelly in the next day or two.
“John Kelly will be leaving — I don’t know if I can say ‘retiring,'” Trump said. “But he’s a great guy. John Kelly will be leaving at the end of the year.”
The leading candidate to replace Kelly is Nick Ayers, Vice President Mike Pence’s year-old chief of staff and a Republican political operative, who possesses the kind of savvy about campaigns that Trump has craved. Kelly, a career military officer before becoming Trump’s first homeland security secretary, lacked such experience.
Kelly’s coming departure leaves Trump with an ever-shrinking team of close advisers as he begins to navigate the new power structure on Capitol Hill that will be ushered in next month when Democrats assume control of the House.
