Leave the President's family business to him. You will have plenty to do without trying to manage the First Family. They are likely to do fine without your help.
Many people around the President have sizeable egos before entering government, some with good reason. Their new positions will do little to moderate their egos.
Congress, the press, and the bureaucracy too often focus on how much money or effort is spent, rather than whether the money or effort actually achieves the announced goal.
Presidential leadership needn't always cost money. Look for low- and no-cost options. They can be surprisingly effective.
