  >This seems like a great way to push out your brilliant people who won't tolerate bullshit or sacrifice their point for the sake of social cohesion. Why do you believe such people shouldn't be pushed out? Social cohesion is important in any group of people working on a common goal and a company is made up of groups of people working together on common goals. Likewise, there's always bullshit in larger companies and those who don't "tolerate" it usually just force others to deal with twice as much.

    Sure, many companies suffer from the "herding cats" problem and could use more cohesion. But there are also many companies that suffer from excessive groupthink, and would be better off with more people going against the grain. You can't say that one advice is universally better than the other, you need to look at the specific company.

    Because brilliant people move things forward by leaps and bounds. And anti-intellectualism has a proven track record of accepting failure in exchange for social control. Up until they get their asses kicked trivially when they try to push someone who hasn't slacked off. Why should bullshit be tolerated when it leads to waste and stagnation? That sort of attitude is why Detroit fell so hard along with many post industrial wastelands. They scorned higher education or going another direction and then their keystone economies collapsed.
