People aren't attracted to assholes, people are attracted to confidence and assertiveness. The problem is that while not all confident people are assholes, all assholes are confident.
- WJW 6y agoYou just don't notice the non-confident assholes because they don't seek the spotlight.
- nogabebop23 6y agoto tie it back to the netflix series this is Phil Jackson in a nutshell. He appears to quietly fade into the background but is busy coaching and letting these guys do their thing, tweaking and making small incremental changes - and winning championships. Steve Kerr (who played for him) had success with a similar coaching style in Golden State (at least up until this season!). These guys are known as a player's coach because they are most definitely not assholes.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoI wouldn't say that about Phil Jackson. Over and over I have heard about how incredibly manipulative he was, playing games with his players' heads. Sure, he's doing it to try to get 1% more out of them, which is also good for the player, but... I wouldn't put him in the non-a-hole category.
- slantyyz 6y ago>> people are attracted to confidence and assertiveness Yes, but when it comes to having someone represent them (i.e., lawyers, agents, politicians, etc), I tend to think that people are attracted to bullies.
