I think it's also counter to good work harmony. Whenever I have worked with or hired the genius/best and brightest, a high proportion of them have difficulty playing nice with others or staying focused on routine work. You need a couple really crazy smart knowledgable people. And then fill out rest of the team according to their roles and fit.

  At some companies, you're right... I am seeing some stuff right now that blows my mind, complete incompetence getting promoted to executive levels. Unbelievable.
