Negative, critical people often ascend to positions of leadership because their disregard for social niceties makes them seem powerful, research suggests.

A study from Margaret Neale (Stanford University) and Peter Belmi (UVA’s Darden School of Business) may clarify the issue. Their experiments were broken down into competitive and cooperative negotiations that involved food sharing as well as just food consumption.
