Can’t see how being an asshole and being innovative are intrinsically linked.
On the other hand, being an asshole and [taking credit for other’s work, stepping on others to climb the corporate ladder, throwing others under the bus, other sociopathic behavior…] seem pretty correlated.
- tbrownaw 5y agoBeing innovative means ignoring the way things are supposed to be done, and maybe a bit of hubris to think you can do better. I'd imagine that being an asshole likely also involves ignoring the way things are supposed to be done, and/or a bit of (differently applied) hubris.
