Jobs could have made his point without shouting, i.e. being an asshole.

That’s not really as effective though. Sometimes you need to be an asshole to get your point across. Civility will make you look like a weakling and you will be continually passed on promotions.

    That's certainly what all the assholes claim.

    • They're right, too.

      ... if the people you're trying to make a point to are also all assholes, because the assholes are in charge, and have exclusively promoted assholes to leadership roles.
