Unfortunately, there’s an entire school of thinking that basically boils down to “pro-social behavior is ineffective and slows you down”. Their take is the “creative, selective” Steve Jobs was part of the myth. His real key to success was being able to push people. We are seeing history repeat itself with Elon Musk: so expect a new generation of entrepreneurs who think being a hardass is the key to running a successful enterprise.

Now, to be clear, shepherding great work out of your team is a hallmark of a good manager. But if you don’t even know what “good” is your efforts are in vain and you’d be better offer handing that autonomy over to someone who does. You cannot verbally-abuse your way to greatness.
