Outliers, lucky, Right place, right time.
The problem is with the people that try to emulate leaders like that - they try to play Steve Jobs in meetings and end up causing all of the damage without any of the greatness.
- mucker 11y agoThey aren't outliers.
- tempestn 11y agoCan you explain why you say that? It seems you're suggesting that there is in fact a correlation between genius, or at least effective management, and unkindness. Is that what you meant? If so, why? I can see how high high achievers could tend to be extremely focused and driven, which in some cases would present in this way. I wouldn't expect it to be the norm though; do you believe otherwise? How do you know?
- vijayr 11y agoI guess the parent is saying that there are lots of people with nasty behavior who are successful - may be not bill gates level successful, but successful nevertheless. Just a guess though
- krishna2 11y agoThere is a Bill Gates quote (I read it on the "Becoming Steve Jobs" biography that was recently published) : "Lots of people want to be like Steve. They have got the asshole part down pat. All they are missing is the genius part.".
