smartness is the way up the ladder...

...of success, defined as fast forward jumps of an individual across the corporate hierarchy... and this need not necessarily be accompanied by any individual growth since corporate success has very different parameters... one has to talk glib, be savvy... these are the only USPs...
it need not abide by the gross right/wrong matrix, it can ride roughshod over small sentiments, pidly little assurances not kept...
in fact the smarter one is, the higher the chances that s/he will climb that much faster...
one just needs a thick skin and the guile to get one's way... and the rest will take care of itself...
i have seen many such people, who expertly turn arguments, change facts and allegiance in the matter of a moment... and they have moved up the ladder very fast... one simple reason is that they are not straight, they run with the leader and their values are suspect... but all these in the eyes of people who take words at face value and trust easily...
