DICKS: Do you need to be one to be a successful leader?

in life •  8 years ago 

In this excellent short film, filmmaker Max Joseph (Dir. of We Are Your Friends) addresses the issue of effective leadership, and whether you need to be an asshole in order to be a successful one.

For some, the answer might surprise you.

For others (like myself), it will probably be more or less obvious.

Enjoy!

Nice find I was thinking of this subject a lot recently, trying to direct films myself in college and looking to the greats like Kubrick all being overly maniacal yet genius, I was starting to think you had to be an asshole to be great. But the message is so insightful, to be a leader you have to be a Disagreeable Giver. Thanks for posting! I resteemed

Thanks, appreciate it! :)

not in my opinion, you don't. But of course there's people who aren't and get walked all over. there's a fine line!

I don't think you have to be 'dick' in order to be successful, I would say more so to just trust yourself and be confident in your decision, which could come off as being a 'dick.'
