No, of course not all people in positions of authority, but it is quite common. I mistakenly assumed that anyone with common sense would grasp the meaning of my sentence rather than interpret it as a black and white statement.
Actually, a person does have to have at least a healthy narcissism to achieve in large organizations that by the nature of organizations themselves involve negotiation, persuading, and general interacting with large numbers of people.
Care to comment on the article rather than my sentence syntax and pronouns/grammar? Did I make any typos? Spelling mistakes?
