Is becoming an asshole an inevitability? I mean, sure, a lot of CEOs I've met have come across as assholes, but isn't that part of the reason why many founders hire somebody to be the CEO?
He didn't say becoming an asshole was inevitable, just that it was inevitable that some of the things you would have to do would make you feel like one.
On the other hand, if becoming a serial entrepreneur during your teenage years leads you to use the tagline "I'm kind of a big deal" on your blog then I think there might be something to the asshole theory.
