AnonTechie writes "In business, intelligence is always a critical element in any employee, because what we do is difficult and complex and the competitors are filled with extremely smart people. However, intelligence isn't the only important quality. Being effective in a company also means working hard, being reliable, and being an excellent member of the team. Companies where people with diverse backgrounds and work styles can succeed have significant advantages in recruiting and retaining top talent over those that don't."

I've seen situations where some of the management knew the history of said employee candidate. They voiced their warnings against hiring that person, and another manager hired that jerk anyway. In those cases, both the jerk employee and manager aught to be fired. People with these narcissistic, "I'm brilliant and you're not" attitudes ruin the company by killing current and future business. Nobody wants to work with them. The hiring manager's argument is, "Oh, but he's talented at...!!!". But that does you no good when your other employees leave the company, or your customer refuses to continue with your services due to issues caused by the AssHat.
