Do You Need To Be A Jerk To Be A Successful Entrepreneur?

Do You Need To Be A Jerk To Be A Successful Entrepreneur? | TechCrunch (September 9, 2012 Vinod Khosla)

You have to be objective with your team and yourself so you don’t sink the ship, while pushing everyone to deliver their best. Have the courage to hold back products that aren’t good enough and give unvarnished feedback when that happens. Spending hours working on the wrong thing doesn’t count, no matter how hard someone works. You can and should be tough, require excellence, and criticize without being denigrating.
