Completely agree. Theres also a difference between the wartime CEO who issues order and doesn't stop to consider every word. He says what he means, sometimes that isn't what others hear, sometimes it is abrasive, sometimes it runs over people...and someone who is just verbally abusive. I think there is a critical element here, which is that the wartime CEO must actually be leading. If you behave like that, but can also inspire people to work for the cause, then it can work. If you behave that way, but also just say meaningless, mean, and average stuff, nobody needs to be exposed to that.
