Steve Jobs, Dov Charney, Lance Armstrong, Harvey Weinstein, Donald Trump. Each one reached the pinnacle of American success. Is it because they were ambitious visionaries and talented entrepreneurs? Most Americans would say yes to both. But  what else do they have in common? They’re known for being mean. Mark Lipton’s book, Mean Men, is filled with decades of psychological research to expose what really drives this subset of America’s leaders.
