But as I mentioned, corporations are starting to figure this out, and the article mentions this, that you're starting to be measured about how you work with others and not necessarily your individual performances. Other people on your teams and your peers are weighed in to help assess what that bonus should be. And working with each other becomes much more important of a deliverable than it has in the past

And I know I'm being a cynic, but I genuinely think that if you want to jettison all the way to the top and stay there being a jerks work, being assertive, often at the expense of others. Because jerk isn't exactly the right word I would use to describe what I am trying to talk about, which is people who are assertive. People who would, I would say, think more about the specific parameters that a business requires. Say for instance, the profits

Well, then all of a sudden, the nice person becomes the jerk, and the jerk calls out the nice person as a jerk. And if the original jerk is very good at manipulating that idea, then it becomes a fact throughout the organization that the nice person is indeed the person that won't help out the jerks work the organization. So it really did make me think that sometimes I think there can be a fine line between who is the jerk at a company

I've worked in the corporate world and around the corporate world for the past 20 years. Today I'm a consultant. So while I'm not directly in the hierarchy of the corporate ladder anymore, I still interface with corporate structures every day. I've seen a lot of things you do have a point where jerks, the quote unquote manipulative person and who does the bad behavior stays in place. But one of my earliest mentors 1516 years ago told me you have to be smart about being smart
