Disagree. The most important skill as you go up higher in the ranks is emotional regulation.

Many, many people simply aren’t able to do that. You can’t manage complex organizations that include people without that ability.

Never thought about it that way, but I think you're correct. The number of adults who cannot hold their cool in the face of a perceived slight or setback is shocking.
