Wth? This sounds like a bunch of narcissistic junk to me.

The sauce to performing successfully is to add value and to communicate clearly - and to also do these two things outside your "box" (intentionally vague).

This stuff on the other hand seems completely disingenous.

It’s not narcissism, it’s survival. I don’t like it either, but agree that this is how most larger companies function.

Yeah, some of the items read like the types of things you'd witness in a "toxic" organization, where cynical individuals are engaged in these behaviors and have convinced themselves that they're not part of the problem.
