I've watched some Simon Sinek videos before, and I run hot and cold where he's concerned, but the short video below (about 2 minutes) makes a really deep point:
As always, my thoughts turn to the company I work for.
And what Sinek says about trustworthiness versus performance could be applied to Donald Trump's major flaw: his inability to create an inner circle of truly loyal people. Maybe Trump should heed Sinek's wisdom: it's better to have a mediocre performer/achiever who's highly trustworthy than it is to have a high performer/achiever who's not trustworthy.

Hadn't really thought of it like that before, but yeah, high performers stand out in the crowd, even when they are assholes. Still, a toxic personality can negatively impact the performance of co-workers, so that's another factor to consider.
