I understand what the author is trying to say, but I find the language very confusing. To say that, you need to be creative and intelligent to be able to deal with crap sounds correct in theory, but in practice it is the worst use of these skills. To deal with crap, you have to basically "suck it up" and swallow you pride. Thats it! Ultimately if that is a large part of what it takes to succeed at your job, then you are basically adding a lot of noise to both your career and the success of your company.
