I've known plenty of people that have risen to the top without stepping on everyone along their way. My father, for one, built his own small fortune without having to destroy others along the way. He happened to take the right risks, work his ass off, and became a leader in an industry. If you talk to anyone who has worked with or for him, you'd find very, very few people that have anything negative to say about him. In fact, his ability to do things without "taking advantage of others" has bred a huge amount of loyalty in those that worked with him. I'd reckon that loyalty is what made him successful more so than anything else.
