Yes, I have worked with talented narcissists. I have had them as bosses, actually forced to call them ‘king shit master of the universe’. Those are the people who cause fights, walkouts, people to quit, and their talent is far offset by the chaos and discourse caused by a swollen head. Playing kitchen is a team sport, and like any team, no matter how good the super star is, if they cant be part of the team, the whole thing goes to shit.
You dont convey empathy and compassion by being a dick. No, that is not what ‘Nightmare Kitchens’ is about, it is what Ramsay is about. Just because his current show has him mellowed out, he has already show his stripes. People’s true colors come out under stress… so either Ramsay is truly the dick he shows on TV, or it is an act, which is even worse.
