In a recent interview with Ivanka Trump, Business Insider asked the millionaire businesswoman to describe her leadership style.
Her response: “Bold.”
And she says this is something she picked up from her father, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.
“My father is incredible. He’s an amazing leader,” the executive vice president of development and acquisitions at The Trump Organization and head of the Ivanka Trump lifestyle brand tells Business Insider. “It’s incredible to watch how he is able to inspire people.”

Ivanka says she admires the clear vision her dad has of what he wants to accomplish for each of his businesses. “He will lay out bold goals, and then he will enable people to work very hard to achieve them. And he’ll encourage them and he’ll support them in those efforts,” she explains.
