You have to be willing to drive a hard bargain, but that's not unethical, nor does it make you an asshole. I'm not sure being an outright asshole is ever required. Do you think it is?

Yes. Mainly when dealing with other assholes.

Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg agree that being an outright backstabbing asshole is required.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin do not.
