Brilliant Jerks Are Costing Your Bottom Line
At some point in our careers, most of us will encounter a brilliant jerk. Think of that rainmaker salesperson who blows every quota out of the water but belittles the receivables team. Or the superstar engineer who writes more sophisticated code than her peers but only works on projects she enjoys and leaves the dirty work to others.
