I think this is a myth, that major accomplishments require running roughshod over people.
We also have a twisted idea of what "major accomplishments" are. Are Walmart and Amazon being supremely dominant in their industries, build on the back of wiping out much of small town America, and worker mistreatment, an "accomplishment"?
- delichon 2y agoThe iPhone was a major accomplishment. Its design was influenced by Jobs' ability to inform people when their work was not insanely great. Maybe he could have done that more gently. But lacking that rare talent it was a social good for him to do that anyway.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoYeah, not disagreeing with any of that. My contention is that it's not a _prerequisite_ to great accomplishments.
