'Shark Tank' star Kevin O'Leary says being liked has nothing to do with success-Steve Jobs taught him: 'You can't worry about whose feelings you bruise'
Briefly

Kevin O'Leary, known as 'Mr. Wonderful', emphasizes that respect in business is more important than friendship for achieving success. His leadership style, influenced by Steve Jobs, prioritizes effective partnerships and career advancement. O'Leary, a multimillionaire investor, amassed a fortune through candidness and ruthlessness in the business world, selling SoftKey Software Products for $4.2 billion. His venture capital firm has invested in numerous startups, showcasing his bold and demanding nature as an investor on platforms like Shark Tank.
"I don't think people you work with need to be your friends. They have to respect you, and you have to lead them forward on their careers, make the money, and help them achieve their goals."
"The so-called 'Mr. Wonderful' doesn't feel the need to play nice or sugarcoat his opinions, and it may be part of the reason why he's amassed a $400 million fortune through his business success."
