I have created some companies and managed lots of people. In my experience, the moment I hear someone calling someone else "jerk", it tells me more about the person telling it than about the "jerk" itself. In particular it tells me you as manager can't handle this people, and you are incompetent as manager and need to improve you handling people's skills. It is something similar to Cesar Millan working with dogs, but instead of Cesar visiting dog owners that do not have a clue about the dogs they have,it is a similar process with people. I am somewhat of a "natural" managing people but also studied practical phycology for years in order to understand and manage different people and I can testify that most managers are so clueless in the practical side of things(they probably studied the things they don't apply in practice). A "no brilliant jerks" policy is the best thing you can do for your competitors that know how to handle them. Call it "Always live in your comfort zone""Do not learn" policy. Go for it. I personally love to welcome those jerks in my company and fix their traumas with clueless managers. It is also very profitable, you make money doing good and feels very satisfying at the end(after the work of fixing the traumas).
