Do You Need to Be a Jerk To Succeed?
Steve Jobs, Jack Welsh, Donald Trump…regardless of how you feel about them, there is no arguing that they’ve achieved worldwide cult hero status. We can’t get enough of these guys (and others like them). As business leaders, many of us even imitate their behaviors in the hopes of replicating their unfathomable success.

In this episode, we discuss:
- Lessons on teamwork from Costco and Moses
- The dark side of charisma
- Why finding good people is still so hard (and what to do about it)
