Brooklyn Bridge Ventures founder Charlie O’Donnell has been vocal about his feelings on the election of Donald Trump. But disdain need not be an end in itself, and there are lessons to be learned from how the president-elect is moving toward his new role as Commander-in-Chief.

5) Don’t surround yourself with “Yes” people.
