" The fact is, you don’t have to like people to work with them, and finding compatibility of purpose at work does not require surrounding yourself only with those you like. You can admire people, even if you don’t like them. There are several managers at Semco that I would never have lunch with—I don’t empathize with them at all—some I downright dislike. But that is irrelevant, because I still respect their style and performance. "
