I think the article's title is click bait. It goes on to essentially say that not conforming to others' ideas isn't necessarily a bad thing, and often contributes to success. Seems pretty obvious to me. The author misconstrues (maybe only in order to twist the message to fit the title) being a jerk with being independent and taking risks. Were some change-makers also jerks? Yeah, but it's not a rule, it's just more visible when that's the case.
