I think the writer is correct: there is a meme out there that in order to be great, a leader, a trailblazer etc you have to become inevitably the arsehole. So much so, that arseholism is not just tolerated but celebrated.
I wonder why the author did not feel persuaded to mention our current poster child of arseholism, the quintessential kind: Donald Trump.
Here's a good video essay on the same subject by a filmmaker, Max Joseph:

I find this stuff very suspect to begin with. Sure we can all grew Trump is an asshole, but in smaller scope, what really matters is who gets to decide who is an asshole. That’s the whole game.
