I feel like this is a complicated topic. Two common reasons spring to mind.... 1) Intelligent but interested in things which are not necessarily eat paths to becoming successful according to society i.e. R&D 2) Low emotional intelligence and therein poor social skills. Humans rely heavily on social connections and collaboration to drive value. I’ve often see clever people who think they are better than others but do not have the ability to get on. Some intelligent people think they are extremely logical but their decision making is often emotionally charged.
