If a Jerk-Aggressive-Dominant team builds a great product and becomes the top of the pyramid by acting like assholes, when is it that they get replaced by nice guys? I just don't think business works like that.

I think the Jerk-Aggressive-Dominant team ends up making a big PR goof causing customers to jump ship.
