In my job, I could successfully be an asshole. But my assholishness wouldn't be irrelevant. If it's a weakness, then I had other advantages to make up for it. If it's a strength, then I applied certain things to make it work. It also depends on the culture. Some cultures make assholishness less viable. For instance, conferences with a decent code of conduct make physical harassment less viable.
