As much as I hate the personality of CEOs and cops - those personalities are necessary because it they are the right ones for the job. Are all of the like that, or just all of the good ones? No. There's a different style for everyone and there are exceptions to the rule. Being an a$$hole to your employees sucks for you and them, but if lighting a fire under their butts is what it takes to get the job done, then so be it.

I work in the film business. I've heard more than my share of stories about people like David Fincher and James Cameron. Hell, I was around Cameron a fair amount in the 90s. These people are highly demanding at work and not the nicest people in the world, but they're also very good at their jobs and push people to deliver beyond what they normally would.

I'm not saying that being mean is a requirement for doing good, but sometimes delivering great work means no compromise.

I can separate between the person and the work, but not everyone can.

The worst situation is someone who is a tyrant but has zero taste or talent, those are the ones who are truly awful.
