Einstein would have been a terrible manager.

There is a huge misconception among students that being smart is
the way to be successful.  Let me break this to you.  It is not 
about being smart. 

There are many smart people who are absolutely incompetent
managers.  Not to mention the fact that many smart people are 
first-rate jerks.

Don’t get me wrong.  I am not saying you have to be dumb to 
succeed.  What I am saying is that you do not have to be a 
Mensan to make it to the top.  All you need is average
intelligence.  

But, you need other qualities.
