Name a successful CEO who most people say is "nice". Steve Jobs? No. Larry Ellison? No. Bill Gates? No. Nice guys don't become CEOs. Most CEOs are slimy.

- pfannkuchen 3y agoI haven’t really heard of Jobs or Gates being manipulative within the company, just ruthless. Curious if anyone has comparable manipulation stories?
