The article, "Rewarding the Technically Effective but Egotistical Team-Destroyer" talks about a common issue where there is an employee who is intelligent and effective at finding solutions but is extremely egotistical and could not care less about anybody else but himself or herself. The incentive systems at many companies are set up to favor these kinds of individuals as long as they keep producing concrete results. In extreme cases, even an egotistical boss may be very effective at getting things done despite the consequences to others.
From this employee's perspective, involvement in the company is measured in personal power and the paycheck. It is not an organization of people or even an entity for creating something of value. As long as the position and financial success makes the person feel powerful, he or she will remain loyal to it. But beware for those persons who get in the way of that goal.
