Silicon Valley’s community of leaders are frequently hailed as visionaries, and while it’s hard to argue with the fact that the innovation’s they’ve produced have changed the world, the qualities that make them so unique aren’t always positive ones.

We also discuss the key learnings that CEOs and business leaders can take away from their Silicon Valley counterparts.
