Those that do try to apply this asshole logic outside this highly specific context, make 2 very painful mistakes. One, whatever you do, isn't memorable, and has no glory. 90s Chicago Bulls took the world by storm. Jordan is perceived as one of the greatest athletes ever. Him being that asshole may very well have secured multiple championships. Which is a big thing, something millions of people care about and still talk about decades later. Not so much for your soulless corp few even know exists at all. Nobody cares about your performance but yourself. There is no glory to pushing people to the very edge, therefore it's not worth it or justifiable. In business, people shouldn't be expected to deliver super human effort or endure this behavior. The situations just don't compare. Two, you're not Jordan. And not Jobs. Nor will you become one by being an asshole. A handful of people have the character, vision and skill to touch, change and inspire the world, and you're not it. Not even close.
