Would you hire Tony Soprano?

There's an interesting article on the Forbes website (http://www.forbes.com/home/leadership/2007/06/06/sopranos-management-lessons-lead-manage-cx_mk_0606sopranos.html) with business profs expounding on Tony Soprano's "autocratic" management style.

Maybe that ending means Tony is in witness protection.  Maybe he needs to get a real job.  Would you hire him?  As a manager?

I think I would be too scared not to hire him!

Honestly, I think that more managers than we'd like to know take Tony's iron fist approach. Honestly, I think that it eventually leads to discontent and disloyalty among workers - just like it did on the Sopranos. Employees don't like working for a bully - and they'll eventually leave the company, I think.
