Is the Customer Always Right?

It's not too often that I both love and hate advice... This is from the book Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson: "“We called them Polytopia Life Lessons.” Among them: ✨Empathy is not an asset.✨ “He knows that I have an empathy gene, unlike him, and it has hurt me in business,” Kimbal says. “Polytopia taught me how he thinks when you remove empathy.
